Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37582 — The words of Rabi bin Khuthaym

It is narrated from al-Rabi' bin Khuthaym that he said: Reduce (other) talk except for nine things: glorifying Allah (tasbih), declaring His oneness (tahlil), declaring His greatness (takbir), praising Him (tahmid), your asking for good, your seeking refuge from evil, your enjoining what is right, your forbidding what is wrong, and recitation of the Qur'an.
