Is there a hadith in the Sunnah regarding "Praise be to Allah for the number of what He has created"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The third hadith: "for what His Book has counted, and praise be to Allah for the number of every thing, and praise be to Allah for the fullness of every thing." Did this hadith come in the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : I do not know this one either, but I refer the questioner to the books written on this topic, such as *Lubab al-Shin*, in which its hadiths have been extracted and the authentic ones distinguished from the others. Similarly, *Al-Kalim al-Tayyib* by Shaykh Husayn ibn Taimiyyah, in which Al-Albani (may Allah grant him success) extracted the authentic hadiths from it, and also *Al-Adhkar* by al-Nawawi.
I advise the brother questioner not to be deceived by what is found in some books, such as books of dhikr (remembrance of Allah) or books of admonition, regarding hadiths that their authors fabricate, intending thereby to encourage people to dhikr or to the deed for which reward is attached. This is because some people are lax in the matter of virtues, in listing hadiths, or in mentioning hadiths that attach virtue to a specific virtue, or mention a specific virtue among the virtues. Therefore, one must be cautious and follow the authentic sunnah (recommended practice) reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and what is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
Praise be to Allah for the number of what He has created, praise be to Allah for the fullness of what He has created, praise be to Allah for the number of what is in the heavens and what is on the earth, praise be to Allah for what His Book has counted, and praise be to Allah
