اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ كُرَيْبًا أَبَا رِشْدِينَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ضِرَارٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا ، وَكَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ ، فَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِكَلِمَاتِكِ وَزَنَتْهُنَّ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ ، وَمِدَادَ - أَوْ مَدَدَ - كَلِمَاتِهِ“. ¤ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ سُفْيَانُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ : عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ إِلا مَرَّةً.
Mother of the Believers, Lady Juwayriya bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her)—her name was Barrah, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) changed to Juwayriya—narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left from her place and disliked entering the house while her name was still Barrah. Then, when the day had advanced, he returned and she was still sitting in the same place. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Have you been sitting here continuously from the time I left you until now?” She replied in the affirmative. He said: “Indeed, after I left you, I have said four phrases three times. If they were weighed against all that you have said (in remembrance), they would outweigh them. These words are: «سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماته» Allah is free from imperfection, and we praise Him; as many times as the number of His creation, as much as pleases Him, as heavy as His Throne, and as much as the ink of His words.” This narration is also reported from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) through another chain, but in that narration, the name of Lady Juwayriya (may Allah be pleased with her) is mentioned only once.

Benefits and Issues:
The above-mentioned supplication, which is based on the praise of Allah Almighty, is extremely magnificent, in which the transcendence and purity of Allah Almighty are described. The people of faith should memorize this comprehensive supplication and recite it regularly. Also, its relevance to the chapter heading is as follows: when the name of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was mentioned, Sayyidah Juwayriyyah (radi Allahu anha) sent blessings upon him with the words “sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.”
Note: ...If the Prophet’s name is being mentioned repeatedly, as happens in lessons and teaching, then sending blessings once is sufficient to fulfill the obligation. Also, if a person’s name is Muhammad and he is being mentioned, then one should not say “sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.”
