Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is mentioned in a hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) in the hadith
Glory be to Allah, and I begin with praise of Him to the number of His creatures, in accordance with His good pleasure, to the weight of His throneسبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه وزنة عرشه
Sunan Abi Dawud 1503Sahih (Al-Albani)
and His own pleasure. Does this apply to all dhikr, so that we say, "I seek Allah's forgiveness the weight of His Throne and the number of His creation," and so on?

Answer:
Stick to what has been transmitted. Yes.
