[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by Abu Umamah while he was moving his lips. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "What are you saying, O Abu Umamah?" He replied, "I remember my Lord." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you of something better or greater than your remembrance of Him day and night? Say: SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what He has created, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of the entirety of His creation, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what is in the earth and the heavens, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what is in the heavens and the earth, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what He has counted in His book, and SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of everything. And say Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) the same number of times as that. It is narrated by Abu Taher Ahmad bin Amr bin Al-Sarh from Ibn Wahab from Amr bin Al-Harith from Sa'eed bin Abi Hilal from Khuzaymah from Aisha bint Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas from her father Sa'd, that he entered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ upon a woman who had pebbles or stones in front of her to count the tasbih (glorification). So he said, "Shall I not tell you something that is easier for you than this or even better? SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what He has created in the heavens, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what He has created in the earth, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what is between them, SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) the number of what He has created, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) the same number of times as that, and Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) the same number of times as that, and there is no power or strength except with Allah, the same number of times as that."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by him while he was moving his lips, so he said, "What are you saying, O Abu Umamah?"

He said, "I remember my Lord."

He said, "Shall I not inform you of something greater and better than your remembrance of Him day and night? That is to say, 'Glorified is Allah in number as much as He has created, and glorified is Allah in fullness as much as He has created, and glorified is Allah in number as much as is in the earth and the heaven, and glorified is Allah in fullness as much as is in the earth and the heaven, and glorified is Allah in number as much as His Book has counted, and glorified is Allah in number as much as everything, and glorified is Allah in fullness as much as everything, and you say, 'Praise be to Allah' like that.'"

"عن أبى أمامة قال: رآنى النبى ﷺ وأنا أحرك شفتى فقال: لِمَ تحرك شفتيك؟ فقلت: اذكر الله، قال: أفلا أدلك على شئ هو أكبر من ذكرك الليل مع النهار، والنهار مع الليل؟ قلت: بلى يا نبى الله، قال: قل الحمد لله عدد ما خلق، والحمد لله مثل ما خلق، والحمد لله عدد ما في السموات والأرض، والحمد لله عدد ما أحصى كتابه، والحمد لله عدد كل شئ، وسبحان الله عدد ما خلق، وسبحان الله ملء ما خلق، وسبحان الله ملء ما في السموات والأرض، وسبحان الله عدد ما أحصى كتابه، وسبحان الله عدد كل شئ، وسبحان الله ملء كل شئ - قال أبو أمامة: إن رسول الله ﷺ أمرنى أن أعلمهن عقبى من بعدى".
