ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was praising Allah, then he left for his needs. He returned from half of the day and said, "Are you still sitting?" She said, I said yes. He said, "Shall I teach you words that if you were to measure them or weigh them, they would outweigh them?" Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) the number of His creations three times. Subhan Allah the weight of His throne three times. Subhan Allah the satisfaction of His self three times. Subhan Allah the ink of His words three times.  

ابن حبّان:٨٢٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كُرَيْبًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَتْ

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُسَبِّحُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ «مَا زِلْتِ قَاعِدَةً؟ » قَالَتْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ كَلِمَاتٍ لَوْ عُدِلْنَ بِهِنَّ عَدَلَتْهُنَّ أَوْ لَوْ وُزِنَّ بِهِنَّ وَزَنَتْهُنَّ؟ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me in the morning while I was glorifying Allah. Then he went to attend to his need and returned shortly before noon. He asked, "Have you been sitting here all this time?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Shall I not teach you some words which, if you were to say them, they would outweigh what you have said so far, or would be equal to it, or even more?" He then recited the following three times: "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) equal to the number of His creation, Subhan Allah equal to the weight of His Throne, Subhan Allah equal to the ink of His words."  

أحمد:٢٦٧٥٨ – حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَتْ

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غُدْوَةً وَأَنَا أُسَبِّحُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ مَا زِلْتِ قَاعِدَةً؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ كَلِمَاتٍ لَوْ عُدِلْنَ بِهِنَّ عَدَلَتْهُنَّ أَوْ لَوْ وُزِنَّ بِهِنَّ وَزَنَتْهُنَّ يَعْنِي بِجَمِيعِ مَا سَبَّحَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

[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
