‘With this same chain,’ a similar hadith is narrated from Husain bin Waqid, except that at the end of his hadith there is the addition: «الحمد لله رب العالمين». © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is gharib (strange/rare),
2- We know this hadith only through this chain, that is, the narration of Abi Ishaq, who narrates it from Harith (al-A‘war) from Ali.
حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا
الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ
الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ
الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ
عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مَغْفُورًا لَكَ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ " .
´Ali [may Allah be pleased with him] said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Should I not teach you some words that if you say them, Allah will forgive you, even if you were already forgiven?’ He said: ‘Say: None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent. None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. (Lā ilāha illallāhul-`aliyul-`aẓīm, lā ilāha illallāhul-ḥalīmul-karīm, lā ilāha illallāh, subḥān Allāhi rabbil-`arshil-`aẓīm.)’”
