Hadith 830
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَجْلانَ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَاذَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ ؟ " قَالَ : أَذْكُرُ رَبِّي ، قَالَ : " أَلا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَكْثَرَ أَوْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ اللَّيْلَ مَعَ النَّهَارِ وَالنَّهَارَ مَعَ اللَّيْلِ ؟ أَنْ تَقُولَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا خَلَقَ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُهُ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ، وَتَقُولُ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him while he was moving his lips. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Abu Umamah, what are you reciting? He replied: I am remembering my Lord. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you something which, if you recite it during the day, will be better for you than remembering (Allah) all night, and if you recite it during the night, will be better for you than remembering (Allah) all day? (The narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words:) Recite this: “I declare the purity of Allah as many times as the number of His creation. I declare the purity of Allah as much as would fill His creation. I declare the purity of Allah as much as would fill the space between the heavens and the earth. I declare the purity of Allah as many times as is encompassed by His Book. And I declare the purity of Allah as many times as the number of everything. And I declare the purity of Allah as much as would fill everything.” (The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) Recite “Alhamdulillah” (All praise is due to Allah) in the same manner.
