Musnad of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 710 — he went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا نَوًى وَحَصًى تُسَبِّحُ ، فَقَالَ : أُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا هُوَ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ هَذَا ، أَوْ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَوْلُ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ مَا هُوَ خَالِقٌ ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to a woman who had date stones or pebbles in front of her on which she was glorifying Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you of something that is easier for you than this (or he said: better)? Say: 'Subhanallahi adada ma khalaqa fi al-sama', wa subhanallahi adada ma khalaqa fi al-ard, wa subhanallahi adada ma bayna dhalik, wa subhanallahi adada ma huwa khaliq' (Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He has created in the heaven; glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He has created on the earth; glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what is between them; and glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He is (yet) to create); and likewise 'Allahu akbar' (Allah is the Greatest), likewise 'Al-hamdu lillah' (All praise is for Allah), likewise 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah), and likewise 'La quwwata illa billah' (There is no power except with Allah) (say these as well)."
