"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by her when he prayed the morning prayer, or after he prayed the morning prayer, and she was remembering Allah. He came back when the sun had risen" - or he (one of the narrators) said, "at midday - and she was still doing that. He said: 'I have said four words, three times, since I left you, and they are greater and weigh more heavily than what you have said. They are: Subhan-Allahi 'adada khalqiha, Subhan-Allahi rida nafsihi, Subhan-Allahi zinata 'arshihi, Subhan-Allah midada kalimatihi (Glory is to Allah, as much as the number of His creation, glory is to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory is to Allah as much as the weight of His Throne, glory is to Allah as much as the ink of His words'."  

ابن ماجة:٣٨٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي رِشْدِينَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ قَالَتْ

مَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فَرَجَعَ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ أَوْ قَالَ انْتَصَفَ وَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ قُلْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَنْكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ وَأَرْجَحُ أَوْ أَوْزَنُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

[Machine] "And it was as if the Prophet ﷺ disliked that, so he named her Juwayriyah to counter the dislike of her being called Barrah. He said, 'He went out after he had offered the prayer and came to her. She said, 'I am still yours, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'I did speak words after you which, if they were to be weighed against what you have said, would outweigh them: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the number of Allah's creations, Subhan Allah to the satisfaction of His own self, Subhan Allah to the weight of His Throne, and Subhan Allah to the extent of the ink of His words.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passed by her while he was praying Fajr or after he had prayed Fajr, and she was remembering Allah until the sun rose, and she was still like that. So he said, "Since I left you, I have said three statements that are greater and more beloved to me than what you have been saying: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the number of His creation, Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the weight of His Throne, Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the ink of His words."

"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".
