ذِكْرُ التَّسْبِيحِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ لِلْمَرْءِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ رَبِّهِ بِاللَّيْلِ مَعَ النَّهَارِ، وَالنَّهَارِ مَعَ اللَّيْلِ

[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.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَاذَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟ » قَالَ أَذْكُرُ رَبِّي قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَكْثَرَ أَوْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ اللَّيْلَ مَعَ النَّهَارِ وَالنَّهَارَ مَعَ اللَّيْلِ؟ أَنْ تَقُولَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَتَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw me while I was moving my lips, so he said, "What are you saying, O Abu Umamah?" I said, "I am remembering Allah." He said, "Shall I not tell you of something that is more abundant in remembrance of Allah than you? You say: 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to the number of His creations, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling what He has created, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to what His Book has enumerated, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling what His Book has enumerated, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) equal to everything, and 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) filling everything." Then he said, "Teach them to those who come after you."  

رَآنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيَّ فَقَالَ «مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟» قُلْتُ أَذْكُرُ اللهَ قَالَ أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ اللهَ اللَّيْلَ مَعَ النَّهَارِ؟ تَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَتُسَبِّحُ اللهَ مِثْلَهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ «تُعَلِّمُهُنَّ عَقِبَكَ مِنْ بَعْدَكَ»  

[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."
