May Allah bless you. This questioner says: It was mentioned in a hadith
Whoever gets up at night and saysفيما معناه مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ
Sahih al-Bukhari 1154
and that his remembrance of Allah was a great reward. What is the criterion for this dhikr? Is it tasbih or dhikr?

Answer:
All types of prescribed dhikr fall under this, and the best of them is saying: There is no god but Allah, praise be to Allah who gave me life after He caused me to die, and to Him is the resurrection. Yes.
