باب التَّسْبِيحِ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ وَعِنْدَ النَّوْمِ:Chapter: The Tasbih At The Beginning Of The Day And When Going To Sleep
Hadith 2726
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، وابن أبي عمر واللفظ لابن أبي عمر ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا بُكْرَةً حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَهِيَ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَضْحَى وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي فَارَقْتُكِ عَلَيْهَا ؟ " قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ " ،
Juwairiya reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out from (her apartment) in the morning as she was busy in observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there. He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: You have been in the same seat since I left you. She said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them and (these words) are: "Hallowed be Allah and praise is due to Him according to the number of His creation and according to the pleasure of His Self and according to the weight of His Throne and according to the ink (used in recording) words (for His Praise)."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي رِشْدِينَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ، قَالَتْ : مَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ .
Juwairiya reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to pass by her as she was observing her dawn prayer; or after she had observed her dawn prayer. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation that he said: "Hallowed be Allah according to the number of His creation, hallowed be Allah according to the pleasure of His Self, hallowed be Allah according to the weight of His Throne, hallowed be Allah according to the ink used in recording His words."

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: These words are extremely comprehensive, which are beyond enumeration and cannot be weighed, so the meaning is: I declare the glorification (tasbih) and praise (tahmid) of Allah an infinite and countless number of times.

Benefits:
There are many such deeds in which there is little effort and hardship, but their reward and recompense are great.
This is a special favor from Allah Ta’ala upon His servants.
The aforementioned words are among such deeds.
Secondly, it is also understood that it is not necessary to specify a particular place for the remembrance of Allah (dhikr); rather, this act can be performed while walking about as well.
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed by him while he was moving his lips. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: O Abu Umamah! What are you saying? He (Abu Umamah) replied: I am remembering my Lord. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Shall I not inform you of a remembrance that is superior to all other remembrances by day and night? That you say:
«سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْ ءَ مَا خَلَقَ، وَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْ ءَ مَا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا اَحْصٰي كِتَابَهٗ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ» and likewise you say «اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ، لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ» and «اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ» [النسائي فى عمل اليوم والليله: ۱۶۶]
Benefits:
This narration is weak due to the tadlis (concealment of the source) of Muhammad ibn ‘Ajlan,
because this narration is from «عن»,
and the narration of a mudallis (one who practices tadlis) is weak without explicit mention of hearing (sama’).

1353. Commentary:
➊ In the hadith of Sahih Muslim, it is also explicitly stated that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Today, what you have said—if these words are weighed against what you have said, they will outweigh them.” And those words are mentioned as follows: «سبحان اللهِ و بحمده عددَ خلْقِه ، و رضا نفسِه ، وزنةَ عرشِه ، و مدادَ كلماتِه» [صحیح مسلم ، الذکر والدعاء ، حدیث : 2726] The meaning of these words is that Allah Ta’ala is worthy of limitless glorifications, and no one knows the number, quantity, or weight of these mentioned things. They are extremely weighty and boundless.
➋ It is also established that some forms of remembrance (dhikr) are superior to others and their reward is greater, because not all speech is equal.
➌ From this, it is also evident that during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, women used to engage abundantly in remembrance (dhikr) and acts of worship.
➍ From the Fajr prayer until sunrise, engaging in remembrance (dhikr) is a commendable act.

In one narration, after (Subhan Allah), the phrase (wa bihamdihi) is also present. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Dhikr wa al-Du'a, Chapter: Tasbih at the Beginning of the Day and During the Day, Hadith: 2726)
Therefore, it should be recited as:
(Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi …)

She was taken captive in the Battle of Muraysi‘ and came into the share of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shamas.
She entered into a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with him.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) paid the amount of the contract and took her into his marriage.
