The Prophet ﷺ "Whoever gets up at night and says: -- 'La ilaha il-lallah Wahdahu la Sharika lahu Lahu-lmulk, waLahu-l-hamd wahuwa 'ala kullishai'in Qadir. Al hamdu lil-lahi wa subhanal-lahi wa la-ilaha il-lal-lah wa-l-lahu akbar wa la hawla Wala Quwata il-la-bil-lah.' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. He is the Only One and has no partners . For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are due for Him. He is Omnipotent. All the praises are for Allah. All the glories are for Allah. And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, And Allah is Great And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allah). And then says: -- Allahumma, Ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me). Or invokes (Allah), he will be responded to and if he performs ablution (and prays), his prayer will be accepted."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي أَوْ دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلاَتُهُ

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: “Whoever wakes up in the night and says, ‘None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the Dominion, and to Him is the praise, and He has power over all things. And Glory is to Allah, and all the praise is to Allah, and ‘None has the right to be worshiped but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah (Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shai'in qadīr. Wa subḥān Allah, walḥamdulillāh, wa lā ilāha illallāh, wa Allāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh.)’ – then he said: ‘O my Lord, forgive me (Rabbighfirlī)’ – or he said – ‘then he supplicates, he shall be responded to. So he makes a firm determination, then performs Wudu', then he performs Salat, his Salat shall be accepted.”

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي أَوْ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ فَإِنْ عَزَمَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلاَتُهُ

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

"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

"I heard Abdullah bin Az-Zubair speaking from the Minbar, saying: 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the taslim, he would say: "La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil-'azim; la ilaha ill-Allahu wa la nabbed illa iyyah, ahlan-ni'mati wal-fadli wath-thana'il-has an; la ilaha ill-Allah, mukhlisina lahud-dina wa law karihal-kafirun (There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allah (SWT) the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it. )

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يُحَدِّثُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ لاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ أَهْلَ النِّعْمَةِ وَالْفَضْلِ وَالثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ

[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

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

[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

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 «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] 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»

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ فِي يَوْمٍ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَى لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى سَهْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

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] 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

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

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)

"أفْضلُ الكلام: سبحانَ الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر" .

"أكْثِروا من قَوْل: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والحمدُ للهِ، ولا إِلَه إلا اللهُ، واللهُ أكبَرُ، ولا حولَ ولا قُوَّةَ إلا باللهِ؛ فإِنَّهُنَّ من الباقياتِ الصَّالِحَات، وهُنَّ يَحْطُطنَ الخَطَايا، كما تَحُطُّ الشَجَرةُ وَرَقَهَا، وهُنَّ من كنُوزِ الجنَّةِ".

"إِنَّ في الجَنَّة قِيعَانًا فأَكثروا غِراسَهَا، قالوا: يا رسولَ: اللَّهِ وما غَرْسُهَا؟ قال: سبحانَ اللَّه، والحمدُ للَّه، ولا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، واللَّه أكبرُ".

"إِنَّ قَوْلَ لَا إِلهَ إِلا اللَّهُ، وسبحان اللَّه، والحمدُ للَّهِ، واللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ يَحْطُطْنَ الخطايا كما يَتحَاتٌ وَرَقُ هَذِهِ الشجَرةِ".

"تدْرُونَ مَا البَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ؟ سُبحَانَ اللهِ، وَالحَمْدُ للهِ، وَلَا إِله إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أكبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا باللهِ".

[AI] "Take them before you are separated from them, the enduring good deeds, for they are treasures of Paradise: Glory be to Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest."

"خُذْهُنَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُحَال بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنهُنَّ، البَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ فَإِنَّهُن من كنوز الجَنَّةِ: سُبحانَ اللَّه والحمدُ للَّه، ولا إِلهَ إِلا اللَّه، واللَّه أَكبرُ".

"عَلَيكمْ بِهَذِهِ الْخَمس: سُبْحَان الله، والْحَمَد للهِ، ولا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهُ، واللهُ أَكْبَرُ، ولا حَوْلَ ولا قُوَّة إلا باللهِ".

"قلْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، وَلَا إِلهَ إِلَّا الله، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، فَإِنَّهُنَّ الْبَاقيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ، وَهُن يَحْطُطْنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا تَحُطُّ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا، وَهُنَّ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ".

"كَلِمَاتٌ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُنَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّة دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلاة: الله أَكْبَرُ، سُبْحَانَ الله، وَالْحَمْدُ لله، وَلا إِلهَ إلا الله وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إلَّا بالله، لَوْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاه مِثْلَ زَبَد الْبَحْرِ لَمَحَتْهُنَّ".

"لأَنْ أقُولَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والْحَمْدُ للهِ، ولا إِلَهَ إلا اللهُ، واللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِليَّ ممَا طَلعَتْ عَلَيهِ الشَّمْسُ".

"مَاسَبَّحْتُ وَلَا سَبَّحَتِ الأَنْبيَاءُ قَبْلى بِأفْضَلَ مِن سُبْحَانَ اللهِ،

وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ، وَلا إلهَ إلا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ".

"مَا عَلَى الأرْضِ أحَدٌ يقول: لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أكبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ ولا قُوّةَ إِلّا بِالله إِلّا كَفَّرَتْ عَنهُ خَطَايَاهُ، وَلَوْ كَانَت مِثلَ زَبَدِ البَحْر".

"مَا عَلَى الأرْضِ مِن أحد يَقُول: لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أكبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ إلا كَفَّرَتْ عَنهُ خَطَايَاهُ، وَلَوْ كَانَت مِن زَبَد البحر (*) ".

"مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَعَارُّ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيلِ فَيَقُولُ: الله أَكْبَرُ، وَسُبْحَانَ الله، وَلَا إِله إِلا الله، وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلكُ وَلهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيي وَيُمِيتُ، وَهُو علَى كُلِّ شىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَلَا حوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله، أَسْتَغْفِرُ الله الْغَفُورَ الرَّحِيمَ، إِلا سَلَخَهُ الله مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَومِ وَلَدَتْه أُمُّهُ".

"مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيلِ فَقَال حِينَ يَسْتَيقظُ: لَا إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ يُحْيى وَيُمِيتُ بيَدِهِ الخَيرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالحَمْدُ للهِ، وَلَا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، ثُمَّ قَال: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لي وَدَعَا اسْتُجيبَ لَهُ، فَإِن قَامَ فَتَوَضأ ثُمَّ صَلّى قُبِلَتْ صَلاتُهُ".

"مَنْ دَعَا بهَؤُلاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الْخَمْسِ لَمْ يَسْأَل الله شَيئًا إِلا أَعْطَاهُ: لا إِله إِلا اللهُ، واللهُ أَكبَرُ لا إِلهَ إِلا الله، وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لا إِلهَ إِلا اللهُ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَة إِلا بِاللهِ".

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

"مَنْ قَال: لَا إِلهَ إِلا الله، وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَي كُلِّ شَيء قَدِيرٌ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله، وَسُبْحَانَ الله وَبِحَمْدهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لله، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلا الله، والله أَكْبَرُ، حُطَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ" .

"مَنْ لَقِيَ الله بِخَمْسٍ عُوفِي مِنَ النَّارِ وأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ: الحمْدُ لله، وسُبْحَانَ الله، ولا إِلَهَ إِلا الله، والله أَكْبَرُ، وَوَلدٌ مُحْتَسَبٌ".

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَمْرو قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ حينَ يُرِيدُ أنْ يَرْقُدَ لاَ إِلَه إِلاَّ الله وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَه، لَهُ الْمُلك وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَئٍ قَدير، سُبْحَانَ الله وَبحَمْدِه، الله أَكْبَرُ، لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بالله، ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ الله إِلاَّ غَفَرَ لَه، وَلوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ مثْلَ زَبَد البَحْرِ".
