Hadith 5456
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حُطَّتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever says "Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi" one hundred (100) times in a day, his sins will be erased, even if they are as much as the foam of the sea.
Hadith 5457
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْكَلَامِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ مَا اصْطَفَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِعِبَادِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, "Which speech is the best?" he (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "The speech which Allah Almighty has chosen for His servants, that is, Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi."
Hadith 5458
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا يَدَعْ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ لِلَّهِ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَإِنَّهَا أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَعْمَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَيَكُونُ مَا عَمِلَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ سِوَى ذَلِكَ وَافِرًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should neglect to perform one thousand good deeds for Allah in the morning. The way to do this is to say “Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi” one hundred (100) times. These are one thousand good deeds. If Allah wills, that servant will not commit one thousand sins that day, and in addition to this, his good deeds will be abundant beyond this as well.
Hadith 5459
عَنْ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكْسِبَ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ قَالَ وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يُسَبِّحُ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ وَتُمْحَى عَنْهُ أَلْفُ سَيِّئَةٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Are you incapable of performing one thousand good deeds every day? They said: Who has the strength to do so many good deeds? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say “Subhan Allah” one hundred (100) times; one thousand good deeds will be written for him and one thousand sins will be erased from him.
Hadith 5460
عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ نُبِتَ لَهُ غَرْسٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
Sahl narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever says "Subhan Allah al-Azeem," a tree will be planted for him in Paradise.
Hadith 5461
عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غُدْوَةً وَأَنَا أُسَبِّحُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَةٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ مَا زِلْتِ قَاعِدَةً قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ كَلِمَاتٍ لَوْ عُدِلْنَ بِهِنَّ عَدَلَتْهُنَّ أَوْ لَوْ وُزِنَّ بِهِنَّ وَزَنَتْهُنَّ يَعْنِي بِجَمِيعِ مَا سَبَّحَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
It is narrated from Sayyida Juwayriya bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me after the Fajr prayer while I was glorifying Allah Almighty, then he left for some work and returned near midday and said to me: Are you still sitting in the same state (engaged in remembrance)? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not teach you such words that if they are weighed against all that you have recited, they will outweigh them? These words are to be said three times: Subhan Allah ‘adada khalqihi, ... to ... Subhan Allah midaada kalimatihi. (See the next hadith for the translation of these words)
Hadith 5462
عَنْهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا خَرَجَ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى فَجَاءَهَا فَقَالَتْ مَا زِلْتُ بَعْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَائِبَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ كَلِمَاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَّ لَرَجَحْنَ بِمَا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَاءَ نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Juwayriya (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Fajr prayer and then left for some task, and then returned to her. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have been continuously remembering (Allah) after you left. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After leaving you, I recited such words that if they were weighed against all that you have recited, they would outweigh them. Those words are: Subhan Allah ‘adada ma khalaqa Allah, Subhan Allah rida nafsihi, Subhan Allah zinata ‘arshihi, Subhan Allah midada kalimatihi. (Allah is pure as many times as the number of His creation, Allah is pure as much as pleases Himself, Allah is pure as heavy as His Throne, Allah is pure as the ink needed to write His words.)
Hadith 5463
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There are two phrases which are light on the tongue, heavy on the scales, and beloved to the Most Merciful. They are: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azeem.
Hadith 5464
عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ مِنْ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ وَتَحْمِيدِهِ وَتَكْبِيرِهِ وَتَهْلِيلِهِ يَتَعَاطَفْنَ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ لَهُنَّ دَوِيٌّ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ يُذَكِّرُونَ بِصَاحِبِهِنَّ أَلَا يُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَزَالَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ يُذَكِّرُ بِهِ
Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people remember the majesty of Allah by saying tasbih (Subhan Allah), tahmid (Alhamdulillah), takbir (Allahu Akbar), and tahlil (La ilaha illallah), then these (words of remembrance) surround the Throne with humility, their sound is like the buzzing of bees, and they mention their (reciter) to Allah. So do you not wish that you have a deed which keeps reminding (Allah) of you near the Throne?
Hadith 5465
عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ الْمُخَارِقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا قَبِيصَةُ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ قُلْتُ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي فَأَتَيْتُكَ لِتُعَلِّمَنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ قَالَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ مَا مَرَرْتَ بِحَجَرٍ وَلَا شَجَرٍ وَلَا مَدَرٍ إِلَّا اسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْفَجْرَ فَقُلْ ثَلَاثًا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ تُعَافَى مِنَ الْعَمَى وَالْجُذَامِ وَالْفَالِجِ يَا قَبِيصَةُ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِمَّا عِنْدَكَ وَأَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَانْشُرْ عَلَيَّ رَحْمَتَكَ وَأَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qabeesah bin Mukhaariq (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Qabeesah! Why have you come?" I said: "My age has become advanced and my bones have become weak, so I have come to you so that you may teach me something through which Allah Almighty may benefit me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Qabeesah! Every stone, tree, and unbaked brick that you passed by sought forgiveness for you. O Qabeesah! When you have performed the Fajr prayer, say this phrase three times: 'Subhaanallaahil-‘Azeemi wa bihamdihi' (Glory be to Allah the Magnificent, and with His praise), you will be granted safety from blindness, leprosy, and paralysis. O Qabeesah! Make this supplication: 'Allahumma inni as’aluka mimma ‘indaka ... wa anzil ‘alayya min barakaatika.' (O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for what is with You, so bestow Your grace upon me, shower Your mercy upon me, and send down Your blessings upon me)."
