"ألا أخْبُركَ بأَكْثَرَ وأَفْضَل من ذكْركَ اللَّيلَ مَعَ النَّهَارِ والنهار مَعَ اللَّيْلِ؟ أن تقولَ سُبْحَان اللَّه عدد مَا خلق، وسبحان اللَّه مِلءَ ما خلق، وسبحان اللَّه عَدَدَ ما في الأَرْضِ والسَّمَاءِ، وسبحان اللَّه مِلءَ ما في الأرض والسَّمَاءِ، وسبحان اللَّه عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كتابه، وسبحان اللَّه عَدَدَ كُلِّ شىْءٍ، وسُبْحانَ اللَّه مِلْءَ كُلِّ شئٍ، وتقول: الْحمد للَّه مِثْلَ ذلكَ" .
Once Sa'd, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, visited a woman in front of whom were some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as a rosary to glorify Allah. He (the Prophet) said: I tell you something which would be easier (or more excellent) for you than that. He said (it consisted of saying): "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created in Heaven; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created on Earth; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created between them; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He is creating; "Allah is most great" a similar number of times; "Praise (be to Allah)" a similar number of times; and "There is no god but Allah" a similar number of times; "There is no might and no power except in Allah" a similar number of times.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا نَوًى أَوْ حَصًى تُسَبِّحُ بِهِ فَقَالَ أُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا هُوَ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ هَذَا أَوْ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا هُوَ خَالِقٌ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] "From the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , who said: Whoever says 'alhamdulillah' (praise be to Allah) as many times as the number of his creations, and 'alhamdulillah' fills what he has created, and 'alhamdulillah' is as many times as what is in the heavens and the earth, and 'alhamdulillah' fills what is in the heavens and the earth, and 'alhamdulillah' is as many as what His book has counted, and 'alhamdulillah' fills what His book has counted, and 'alhamdulillah' is as many times as everything, and 'alhamdulillah' fills everything, and 'subhanallah' (glory be to Allah) is like it. So, that is the greatest."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِثْلَهَا فَأَعْظِمْ ذَلِكَ

[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.'"
