[Machine] The name of Juwayriyah bint al-Haritharah was changed by the Prophet ﷺ and he named her Juwayriyah. The Prophet ﷺ passed by her while she was in her prayer chamber glorifying and supplicating to Allah. He then went to fulfill his need and returned to her after the day had passed. He said, "O Juwayriyah, are you still in your place?" She replied, "I am still in my place." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have uttered four phrases that I have repeated three times, and they are better than what you have said. They are: 'Subhan Allah, the number of His creation; Subhan Allah, to satisfy His own self; Subhan Allah, the weight of His Throne; and Subhan Allah, the extent of His Words.' And all praise is due to Allah, similar to that."  

أحمد:٣٣٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى بَنِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ اسْمُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ بَرَّةَ فَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْمَهَا فَسَمَّاهَا جُوَيْرِيَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا هِيَ فِي مُصَلَّاهَا تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ وَتَدْعُوهُ فَانْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا بَعْدَ مَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ يَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ مَا زِلْتِ فِي مَكَانِكِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا زِلْتُ فِي مَكَانِي هَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ هُنَّ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَاءَ نَفْسِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by her early in the morning while she was praying in the mosque. Then he passed by her again close to midday and asked, "Are you still doing the same thing?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "Shall I teach you some words that are equivalent to freeing slaves? They are: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) the number of His creations three times, Subhan Allah satisfaction with Himself three times, Subhan Allah the weight of His Throne three times, and Subhan Allah the ink of His words." Her name was Burrah, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named her Juwayriyah.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَيْهَا بَاكِرًا وَهِيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تَدْعُو ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَيْهَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ «مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ كَلِمَاتٍ تَعْدِلُهُنَّ وَرِقَابٌ أوْوَزْنُهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ثَلَاثًا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَى نَفْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ ثَلَاثًا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَكَانَتِ اسْمُهَا بُرَّةَ فَسَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جُوَيْرِيَةَ

[Machine] The name of Juwayriyah bint al-Harith was Burrah, but the Prophet ﷺ changed her name to Juwayriyah. He passed by her while she was reading and worshiping Allah in her prayer. Then, he passed by her again after the day had ended and asked, "O Juwayriyah, are you still in your place?" She replied, "I have not moved from my place since you left." He said, "I have uttered four phrases that I have repeated three times, which are better than what you have said. They are: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allahi al-'adheemi, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allahi al-'adheemi. And all praise is due to Allah." This narration is reported by Shu'bah from Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from Kurayb from Ibn 'Abbas, from Juwayriyah.

"لَقَدْ تكلَّمْتُ بأَرْبع كلماتٍ أعدْتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، هُنَّ أفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلتِ: سُبْحَانَ الله عَددَ خلقه، وسبحانِ الله رِضى نفسه، وسبحان الله زِنَةَ عرشه، وسبحانَ الله مِدادَ كلماتِه، والحمد لله مثلَ ذلكَ".
