The questioner:
I hope you will speak, Shaykh, about the virtue of saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim."
The Shaykh:
Yes, "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim" plants a tree in Paradise for the one who says it; it plants a tree in Paradise for the one who says it. So it is a great word. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. He says:
The Shaykh:
Yes, and to continue.
The questioner:
Please proceed.
The Shaykh:
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 3806Sahih (Darussalam). Yes.
The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, in reality, many people are heedless and they spend hours and times in idle talk, and they leave this great treasure and these simple words.
The Shaykh:
This is deprivation, heedlessness, and ignorance. The Muslim should reduce his speech except for what is beneficial for his religion and his worldly life, and he should increase in the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
