[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.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٩٩١٧أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ اسْمُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ بُرَّةُ فَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْمَهَا فَسَمَّاهَا جُوَيْرِيَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهَا تَقْرَأُ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلَّاهَا تُسَبِّحُ وَتَذْكُرُ اللهَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَرَّ بِهَا بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ «يَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ مَا زِلْتِ فِي مَكَانِكِ؟» قَالَتْ مَا زِلْتُ فِي مَكَانِي مُنْذُ تَعْلَمُ قَالَ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعَدْتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ هُنَّ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَذَلِكَ جَوَّدَهُ شُعْبَةُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ

[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."
