Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31398 — The reward of glorifying Allah

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not teach you the words that Nuh (peace be upon him) taught his son?" The Companions said: "Certainly, please do." He said: "Nuh said: 'I command you to recite these words: There is no god but Allah, He is One and has no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. For if all the heavens were placed in one pan of a balance, the pan of this phrase would outweigh them. And if they were in a ring, these words would break them. And I command you to declare the glory of Allah and to praise Him, for this is the supplication of creation and the glorification of creation, and through it creation is given provision.'"
