that the Prophet ﷺ went out from her (Juwayriyah) presence. Her name was Barrah, so the Prophet ﷺ changed her name and called her Juwayriyah. He went out, disliking that he should enter while her name was Barrah. 

Then he returned to her after the day had risen high, while she was in her place of sitting, and he said: “Have you remained in your place of sitting? After leaving you I have said four phrases three times; if they were weighed against what you have said, they would outweigh them:

subḥān Allāhi wa-bi-ḥamdihi ʿadada khalqihi, wa-riḍā nafsihi, wa-zinata ʿarshihi, wa-midāda / wa-madada kalimātihi

‘Glory be to Allah and with His praise, as many times as the number of His creation, and according to His own pleasure, and the weight of His Throne, and the ink—or the extent—of His words.’”

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا، وَكَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ، فَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْمَهَا، فَسَمَّاهَا جُوَيْرِيَةَ، فَخَرَجَ وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ وَاسْمُهَا بَرَّةُ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا بَعْدَمَا تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ، وَهِيَ فِي مَجْلِسِهَا، فَقَالَ: «مَا زِلْتِ فِي مَجْلِسِكِ؟ لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِكِ وَزَنَتْهُنَّ:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ، وَمِدَادَ - أَوْ مَدَدَ - كَلِمَاتِهِ

that the Prophet ﷺ left ˹Juwayriyah, our mother and his wife˺ early in the morning after praying Subh (Fajr) and she was in her place of worship. He then came back at duha time (midmorning) and she was ˹still˺ sitting ˹doing dhikr˺. He asked, "Have you been in the same place since I left you?" She said: "Yes." Thereupon, the Prophet ﷺ said: "I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them:

subḥān Allāhi wa-bi-ḥamdihī, adada khalqihī, wa-riḍā nafsihī, wa-zinata ʿarshihī, wa-midāda kalimātihī

(Exalted is Allah and praise is due to Him according to: the number of His creation, and ˹according to˺ the pleasure of His Self, and ˹according to˺ the weight of His Throne, and ˹according to˺ the ink of words ˹of His constant decrees or of praise that is due to Him.)"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا بُكْرَةً حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَهِيَ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا۔ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَضْحَى وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ۔ فَقَالَ: «مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي فَارَقْتُكِ عَلَيْهَا؟» قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ:

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ، وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ».

" Hallowed be Allah according to the number of His creation, hallowed be Allah according to the pleasure of His Self, hallowed be Allah according to the weight of His Throne, hallowed be Allah according to the ink used in recording His words."

مَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْغَدَاةِ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out from Juwayriyyah (wife of the Prophet). Earlier her name was Barrah, and he changed it. When he went out she was in her place of worship, and when he returned she was in her place of worship. He asked: Have you been in your place of worship continuously? She said: Yes. He then said: Since leaving you I have said three times four phrases which, if weighed against all that you have said (during this period), would prove to be heavier: "Glory be to Allah, and I begin with praise of Him to the number of His creatures, in accordance with His good pleasure, to the weight of His throne and to the ink (extent) of His words."

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِ جُوَيْرِيَةَ وَكَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ فَحَوَّلَ اسْمَهَا فَخَرَجَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلاَّهَا وَرَجَعَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلاَّهَا فَقَالَ لَمْ تَزَالِي فِي مُصَلاَّكِ هَذَا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by her when he prayed the morning prayer, or after he prayed the morning prayer, and she was remembering Allah. He came back when the sun had risen" - or he (one of the narrators) said, "at midday - and she was still doing that. He said: 'I have said four words, three times, since I left you, and they are greater and weigh more heavily than what you have said. They are: Subhan-Allahi 'adada khalqiha, Subhan-Allahi rida nafsihi, Subhan-Allahi zinata 'arshihi, Subhan-Allah midada kalimatihi (Glory is to Allah, as much as the number of His creation, glory is to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory is to Allah as much as the weight of His Throne, glory is to Allah as much as the ink of His words'."

مَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فَرَجَعَ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ أَوْ قَالَ انْتَصَفَ وَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ قُلْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَنْكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ وَأَرْجَحُ أَوْ أَوْزَنُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

[AI] 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."

كَانَ اسْمُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ بَرَّةَ فَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اسْمَهَا فَسَمَّاهَا جُوَيْرِيَةَ فَمَرَّ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا هِيَ فِي مُصَلَّاهَا تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ وَتَدْعُوهُ فَانْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا بَعْدَ مَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ يَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ مَا زِلْتِ فِي مَكَانِكِ؟ قَالَتْ مَا زِلْتُ فِي مَكَانِي هَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ هُنَّ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَاءَ نَفْسِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ went out for the morning prayer and saw Jawairiyya sitting in the mosque. When daylight came, he returned and asked, "Are you still here sitting after me?" she replied, "Yes." He said, "I have said four phrases, if these were weighed against what is on the earth, they would outweigh them: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi, wa ridha nafsihi, wa zinata 'arshihi" which means "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, as many times as the number of His creation, and as pleasing to Himself, and as the weight of His Throne."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَجُوَيْرِيَةُ جَالِسَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَجَعَ حِينَ تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ «لَنْ تَزَالِي جَالِسَةً بَعْدِي؟ » قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «لَقَدْ قُلْتُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِهِنَّ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passed by her while he was praying Fajr or after he had prayed Fajr, and she was remembering Allah until the sun rose, and she was still like that. So he said, "Since I left you, I have said three statements that are greater and more beloved to me than what you have been saying: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the number of His creation, Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the weight of His Throne, Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) as many times as the ink of His words."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهَا حِينَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ أَوْ بَعْدَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ اللهَ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ وَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ قُلْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَنْكِ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلَاثًا هُنَّ أَكْبَرُ وَأَرْجِحُ أَوْ أَوْزَنُ مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَى نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ left his house after praying Fajr and Juwayriyah was sitting in the mosque. Then he returned when the day had become bright and said, "Have you been sitting in your place?" She replied, "Yes." He said, "I said four words and repeated them three times. If those words were weighed against what you have said, they would outweigh them. Those words are: SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata 'arshihi, wa midad kalimatihi."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَجُوَيْرِيَةُ جَالِسَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ حِينَ تَعَالَى النَّهَارُ فَقَالَ «لَمْ تَزَالِي فِي مَجْلِسِكَ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَقَدْ قُلْتُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثُمَّ رَدَّدْتُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ لَوَزَنَتْهَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَى نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

"لَقَدْ تكلَّمْتُ بأَرْبع كلماتٍ أعدْتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، هُنَّ أفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلتِ: سُبْحَانَ الله عَددَ خلقه، وسبحانِ الله رِضى نفسه، وسبحان الله زِنَةَ عرشه، وسبحانَ الله مِدادَ كلماتِه، والحمد لله مثلَ ذلكَ".
