Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31858 — Reports on the speech most beloved
٣١٨٥٨ - حدثنا يحيى بن آدم قال: ثنا زهير عن منصور عن هلال بن يساف عن ربيع بن (عميلة) (١) عن سمرة بن جندب (قال: قال) (٢) رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "أحب الكلام إلى اللَّه أربع: سبحان اللَّه، والحمد للَّه، ولا إله إلا اللَّه، واللَّه أكبر، لا يضرك بأيهن بدأت" (٣).
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundab (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The speech most pleasing to Allah is these four phrases: Allah is free of all imperfection; all praise belongs to Allah; there is no true deity except Allah; and Allah is the Greatest. There is no harm in whichever of these phrases you choose to begin with."
