A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I cannot memorise anything from the Qur'an: so teach me something which is sufficient for me. He said: Say Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is most great, and there is no might and no strength but in Allah. :He said: Messenger of Allah, this is for Allah, but what is for me? He said: Say: O Allah have mercy on me, and sustain me, and keep me well, and guide me. When he stood up, he made a sign with his hand (indicating that he had earned a lot). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He filed up his hand with virtues.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا فَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنْهُ قَالَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَمَا لِي قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاهْدِنِي فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ مَلأَ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I cannot memorize anything from the Quran, so teach me something that will suffice me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say, 'Subhan Allah' (Glory be to Allah), 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah), 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah), 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest), and 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power or strength except with Allah)." The man left or stood up or something like that. He said, "This is for Allah, so what about me?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say, 'Allahumma ighfirli warhamni wa'afini wahdini warzuqni' (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, protect me, guide me, and provide for me) or 'arzuqni wa'hdini wa'afini' (provide for me, guide me, and protect me)." Mas'arah narrated, "Perhaps I asked Abu Khalid about something like that."  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَاأَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ أَوْ قَامَ أَوْ نَحْوَ ذَا قَالَ هَذَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ قُلْ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي أَوْ ارْزُقْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي قَالَ مِسْعَرٌ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ اسْتَفْهَمْتُ بَعْضَهُ مِنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي الدَّالَانِيَّ  

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: Whoever says "Subhanallah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (All praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god except Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), and there is no power or strength except with Allah," Allah says: "My servant has submitted and surrendered."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِي وَاسْتَسْلَمَ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that will suffice me from the Qur'an?" He said, "Say: Glory be to Allah, All praise is due to Allah, There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest." Sufyan said, "I think he also said: There is no power or strength except with Allah."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِئُنِي عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ «قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ أُرَاهُ قَالَ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I am not proficient in reciting the Quran. Teach me something that will suffice me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say, '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)." The man asked, "Is this sufficient for me with my Lord?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Say, 'Allahumma ighfirli wa rhamni wa rzuqni wa 'afini' (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, provide for me, and protect me)."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أُحْسِنُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنْهُ فَقَالَ «قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ» قَالَ هَذَا لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He filed up his hand with virtues. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 832)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ فَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ» قَالَ هَذَا لِلَّهِ فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ «قُلْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ مَلأَ يَدَيْهِ خَيْرًا»  

"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I cannot learn anything of the Quran; teach me something that I can say instead of reciting the Quran.' He said: 'Say: SubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent ).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 924)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ «قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ السَّكْسَكِيُّ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيَّ  

"مَنْ قَال: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، وَلا إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا باللهِ، قَال اللهُ: أَسْلَمَ عَبْدِي وَاسْتَسْلَمَ".
