[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.

اخْتَارَ اللهُ الْكَلَامَ فَأَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَهِيَ كَلِمَةُ الْإِخْلَاصِ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا عِشْرِينَ حَسَنَةً وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ عِشْرِينَ سَيِّئَةً وَمَنْ قَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَذَلِكَ جَلَالُ اللهِ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا عِشْرِينَ حَسَنَةً وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ عِشْرِينَ سَيِّئَةً وَمَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا عِشْرِينَ حَسَنَةً وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ عِشْرِينَ سَيِّئَةً وَمَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَذَلِكَ ثَنَاءُ اللهِ وَثَنَاؤُهُ الْحَمْدُ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا ثَلَاثِينَ حَسَنَةً وَكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَيِّئَةً

Whoever says Subhan Allah, Allah will write for him/her twenty good deeds or erase twenty bad deeds, and whoever says Allahu Akbar, the same will be written for him/her. Whoever says La ilaha illa Allah, the same will be written for him/her. Whoever says Alhamdulillah, Lord of the worlds, from the bottom of their heart, Allah will write for him/her thirty good deeds or erase thirty bad deeds."

"إن اللهَ ﷻ اصطفى من الكلام سبحانَ اللهِ، والحمدُ للهِ، ولا إِلهَ إِلا الله، والله أكْبَرُ، مَن قال: سبحانَ اللهِ كُتِبَ له عِشْرُونَ حسنةً، وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ عشرون سيئةً، ومنْ قال: الحمدُ لله فهي ثناءُ اللهِ كُتبَ له ثلاثون حسنةً، وحُطَّ عنه ثلاثون سيئةً ومَنْ قرأَ عشْرَ آياتٍ من كِتَاب اللهِ في ليلةٍ لم يُكْتَبْ من الغافلين، وَمَنْ قَرَأ مِائَة آيَةٍ في ليلة كُتِبَ من القانتين، ومن أَكْثَر ذِكْر اللهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ من النِّفاق".
