Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31859 — Reports on the speech most beloved
٣١٨٥٩ - حدثنا وكيع وأبو داود عن سفيان عن سلمة بن كهيل عن هلال عن سمرة قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "أفضل الكلام أربع: سبحان اللَّه، والحمد للَّه، ولا إله إلا اللَّه، واللَّه أكبر، لا عليك بأيهن بدأت" (١).
Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best speech is 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 sin upon you, whichever phrase you choose to begin with."
