If anyone extols Allah after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and says to complete a hundred:" There is no god but Allah, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him is praise due, and He is Potent over everything," his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَكَبَّرَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَتِلْكَ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَقَالَ تَمَامَ الْمِائَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said "The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater). There is no harm for you in which of them begin with (while remembering Allah). And do not give these names to your servants: Yasar and Rabah and Najih and Aflah.

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلاَمِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لاَ يَضُرُّكَ بَأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ وَلاَ تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلاَمَكَ يَسَارًا وَلاَ رَبَاحًا وَلاَ نَجِيحًا وَلاَ أَفْلَحَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَلاَ يَكُونُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ فَلاَ تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَىَّ

The uttering of (these words):" Hallowed be Allah; all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “there is not anyone upon the earth who says: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh) except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.”

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

“That I should say: ‘Glory is to Allah (Subḥān Allāh).’ ‘All praise is due to Allah (Al-ḥamdulillāh),’ ‘None has the right to be worshipped by Allah (Lā ilāha illallāh),’ and ‘Allah is the greatest (Allāhu akbar)’ is more beloved to me than all that the sun has risen over.”

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

"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 ).'"

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يُجْزِئْنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

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)."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ أَفْضَلُ الْكَلاَمِ لاَ يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'You should recite Subhan-Allah, wal-Hamdu-Lillah, wa la ilahah 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), for it sheds sins like the tree sheds its leaves.'"

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكَ بِسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَإِنَّهَا يَعْنِي يَحْطُطْنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا تَحُطُّ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا

[AI] Four phrases that can be said by someone in a state of ritual impurity (junub) or menstruation (haidh): "SubhanAllah" (Glory be to Allah), "Alhamdulillah" (All praise is due to Allah), "La ilaha illallah" (There is no deity but Allah), and "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest).

أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَحْرُمْنَ عَلَى جُنُبٍ وَلَا حَائِضٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “there is not anyone upon the earth who says: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh) except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3460)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ إِلَّا كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

[AI] I heard the messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever says, 'There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest, all praise is due to Allah, and glory be to Allah, and there is no power or strength except with Allah', his sins will be forgiven even if they are as much as the foam of the sea."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِوَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ كُفِّرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “there is not anyone upon the earth who says: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah, (Lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh) except that his sins shall be pardoned, even if they were like the foam of the sea.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3460)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ إِلَّا كَفَّرَتْ عَنْهُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

[AI] Narrated by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : "Increase your good deeds." They asked, "And what are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Reciting takbeer (saying 'Allahu akbar'), tahleel (saying 'La ilaha illallah'), tasbeeh (saying 'Subhanallah'), tahmeed (saying 'Alhamdulillah'), and saying 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (there is no power or might except with Allah)."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ قِيلَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْمِلَّةُ قِيلَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْمِلَّةُ قِيلَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّحْمِيدُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

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)

عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ الْكَلَامِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said "The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater). There is no harm for you in which of them begin with (while remembering Allah). And do not give these names to your servants: Yasar and Rabah and Najih and Aflah. (Using translation from Muslim 2137a)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ لَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا أَفْلَحَ فَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَلَا يَكُونُ فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌلَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ

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 أَفْضَلُ الْكَلَامِ بَعْدَ الْقُرْآنِ وَهُو مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said "The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater). There is no harm for you in which of them begin with (while remembering Allah). And do not give these names to your servants: Yasar and Rabah and Najih and Aflah. (Using translation from Muslim 2137a)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ وَلَا تُسَمِّيَنَّ غُلَامَكَ يَسَارًا وَلَا رَبَاحًا وَلَا نَجِيحًا وَلَا أَفْلَحَفَإِنَّكَ تَقُولُ أَثَمَّ هُوَ فَلَا يَكُونُ فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّمَا هُنَّ أَرْبَعٌ فَلَا تَزِيدُنَّ عَلَيَّ

[AI] He (Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari, companion of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ) heard him (the Messenger of Allah) saying words that whoever mentions them a hundred times after every prayer, Allah is greater, and glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and there is no power or might except with Allah. Then, even if his sins were as much as the foam of the sea, they would be forgiven. Abu Abdurrahman said: My father did not mention the phrase "raise him."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كَلِمَاتٌ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُنَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَاقُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ ثُمَّ لَوْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاهُ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ لَمَحَتْهُنَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are five phrases that are blessed: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (All praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest), and a righteous child who dies and the parent remains patient and hopes for reward from Allah."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسٌ بَخٍ بَخٍ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْوَلَدُ الصَّالِحُ يَمُوتُ لِلرَّجُلِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُ

Yahya related to me from Malik that Umara ibn Sayyad had heard Said ibn al Musayyab say about abiding good deeds that they were a slave's saying 'Allah is greater' (Allahu akbar) and 'Glory be to Allah' (Subahana'llah) and 'Praise be to Allah' (al-hamdu lillah) and 'There is no god but Allah and there is no power and no strength except by Allah.' (La ilaha illa'llah wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa bi'llah.)

يَقُولُ فِي الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ إِنَّهَا قَوْلُ الْعَبْدِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

[AI] 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

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no person on Earth who says, 'There is no deity except Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Glory be to Allah, Praise be to Allah, and there is no power or strength except with Allah,' except that his sins will be forgiven, even if they are as abundant as the foam of the sea." This was narrated by Shu'bah from Abi Balj Yahya ibn Abi Sulaim, and he narrated it standing.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَلْجٍ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ فَأَوْقَفَهُ

[AI] Abu Salamah, the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , told me and I met him in the mosque of Kufa. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Bah, bah, and khams (five), nothing weighs heavier in the scale than them: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, and a righteous child who dies and the Muslim parent expects reward from Allah for their patience.'"

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلْمَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَقِيتُهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَخٍ بَخٍ بِخَمْسٍ مَا أَثْقَلَهُنَّ فِي الْمِيزَانِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْوَلَدُ الصَّالِحُ يُتَوَفَّى لِلْمُسْلِمِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Increase in performing good deeds.' It was asked, 'What are those good deeds, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'The remembrance of Allah, saying Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), La ilaha illallah (there is no deity but Allah), SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), and La hawla wala quwwata illa billah (There is no power or strength except with Allah).' This is the most authentic narration of the Egyptians and they did not exclude it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ» قِيلَ وَمَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْمِلَّةُ» قِيلَ وَمَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّحْمِيدُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ» هَذَا أَصَحُّ إِسْنَادِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ

[AI] Abu Salama, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated to me. I met him in the mosque of Al-Kufa, and he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Light, light,' and he gestured with his hand five times, as if indicating something lighter than them in the scale: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allah Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), and the righteous child is taken by Allah from the believing person, and He admits him into Paradise.'"

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلْمَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَقِيتُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَخٍ بَخٍ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ بِخَمْسٍ مَا أَثْقَلَهُنَّ فِي الْمِيزَانِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْوَلَدُ الصَّالِحُ يُتَوَفَّى لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُ»

The uttering of (these words):" Hallowed be Allah; all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises. (Using translation from Muslim 2695)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "The most beloved speech to Allah is four words: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest)."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»

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 اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»

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 اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا تُبَالِي بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»

[AI] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Increase in saying the righteous words." It was asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Takbir (saying Allahu Akbar), Tahleel (saying La ilaha illallah), Tasbih (saying SubhanAllah), praising Allah, and there is no power or strength except with Allah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اسْتَكْثِرُوا مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ» قِيلَ وَمَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «التَّكْبِيرُ وَالتَّهْلِيلُ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ»

[AI] "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»

[AI] 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»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most beloved words to Allah are: SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the greatest)."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»

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 اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعٌ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ»

عَنِ النَّبِيّ ﷺ قَالَ أَرْبَعٌ أَفْضَلُ الْكَلامِ لا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ولاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أكبر

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لأن أقول سبحان الله ولحمد لله ولا إله لا الله والله أكبر أحب إلي مما طلعت عليه الشمس وهذا الكلام لا نحفظه إلا من حديث أبي معاوية عن الأعمش

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, in Paradise there are gardens, so increase in planting them." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is their planting?" He said, "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)."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قِيعَانًا فَأَكْثِرُوا غَرْسَهَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا غَرْسُهَا؟ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ»

[AI] There is no deity but Allah, and Allah is the greatest.

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most beloved words to Allah are four: There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Subhan Allah, and Alhamdulillah. It does not harm you which one of them you begin with."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ أَرْبَعٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ

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)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ

[AI] Abu Salma, the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Congratulations! Congratulations! for five things that will be| weighed heavily on the scale on the Day of Judgment: There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, Glory be to Allah, praise be to Him, and the righteous offspring who passes away and the Muslim person hopes for reward (from Allah) for him."

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلْمَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَخٍ بَخٍ لِخَمْسٍ مَا أَثْقَلَهُنَّ فِي الْمِيزَانِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ وَالْوَلَدُ الصَّالِحُ يُتَوَفَّى لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُ»

[AI] Narrated by Abu Salamah, the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Light, light, how heavy they are in the balance, there is no god but Allah, and glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and Allah is the greatest, and the righteous slave is taken by death and is rewarded for it."

عَنْ أَبِي سَلْمَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَخٍ بَخٍ مَا أَثْقَلَهُنَّ فِي الْمِيزَانِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ يُتَوَفَّى لِلْمُسْلِمِ فَيَحْتَسِبُهُ

[AI] In his sleep, Abu Abdullah said that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise. And He is capable of all things. There is no power or strength except through Allah. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him. There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the greatest. His sins will be forgiven, even if they were as numerous as the foam of the sea. This statement was narrated by Shu'bah in his sleep.

عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ غُفِرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ لَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ قَالَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "There is no man on earth who says 'There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, glory be to Allah, and all praise is for Allah,' except that his sins are forgiven, even if they were more than the foam of the sea."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ إِلَّا كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

[AI] Because saying "Subhan Allah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu akbar, wa lillahi al-hamd" is dearer to me than carrying weapons of war for the sake of Allah with their arsenals.

لَأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْمِلَ عَلَى عِدَّتِهَا مِنَ الْجِيَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِأَرْسَانِهَا

The uttering of (these words):" Hallowed be Allah; all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," is dearer to me than anything over which the sun rises. (Using translation from Muslim 2695)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَأَنْ أَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ

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

[AI] 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

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 أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ خَالَفَهُ جَرِيرٌ

[AI] 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 god but Allah), and Allahu akbar (Allah is the greatest). And it does not harm you to begin with any of them. Salamah ibn Kuhail disagreed with him."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيِّهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ خَالَفَهُ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ

[AI] Indeed, I have said that in my silence, it is better than what the Euphrates and the Nile can provide. It was said to him, "What did you say?" He said, "I said: Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the greatest."

إِنَّهُ قَدْ قُلْتُ فِي سَكْتَتِي هَذِهِ خَيْرًا مِمَّا يَسْقِي الْفُرَاتُ وَالنِّيلُ قِيلَ لَهُ وَمَا قُلْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
