the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) came out from my apartment in
the morning as I was busy in performing Dhikr after Fajr (the dawn
prayer). He cameback in the forenoon and found me sitting there.
TheProphet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said," Are you still in the
same position asI left you?" I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon
the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said,
•►"I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these
are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning,these
will be heavier. Theseare:
Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, 'adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa
zinatah 'arshihi, wa midadakalimatihi
(Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many
times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good
Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words
(for His Praise)."
