[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Verily, Allah has chosen four phrases from speech. Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, and Allahu Akbar. Whoever says Subhan Allah, twenty good deeds will be written for him and twenty bad deeds will be erased from him. Whoever says Allahu Akbar, the same will be for him. Whoever says La ilaha illallah, the same will be for him. And whoever says Alhamdulillah, Rabbil 'Alamin from his heart, thirty good deeds will be written for him and thirty bad deeds will be erased from him."

the Prophet ﷺ said: "(There are) four that are the best of words, and it does not matter with which you begin: Subhan-Allah, wal-Hamdu-Lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wa Allahu Akbar (Glory is to Allah, praise is to Allah, none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and Allah is the Most Great)." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3811)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا تُبَالِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most beloved words to Allah are four: SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)." Suhaib Ibn Abi Saleh disagreed with him.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ خَالَفَهُ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ

[Machine] Allah chose speech, and the most beloved speech to Allah is "There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the greatest". And glorified is Allah, and all praise is for Allah. Whoever says "There is no god but Allah", it is the word of sincerity that Allah has written for him twenty good deeds and erased from him twenty bad deeds. And whoever says "Allah is the greatest", that is the grandeur of Allah, and Allah has written for him twenty good deeds and erased from him twenty bad deeds. And whoever says "Glorified is Allah", Allah has written for him twenty good deeds and erased from him twenty bad deeds. And whoever says "All praise is for Allah", that is the praise of Allah, and Allah has written for him thirty good deeds and erased from him thirty bad deeds.
