Raising the Voice in Tasbih Before the Friday Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is raising the voice in tasbih on Friday, an hour or more before the prayer, a recommended practice (sunnah) or a religious innovation (bid'ah)?
A: There is no doubt that this act is a religious innovation (bid'ah); because it has not reached us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor from his Companions, that they did so, and all good lies in following them. As for one who recites tasbih to himself, there is nothing wrong with that; rather, it contains great good and abundant reward, for it is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Muslim 2137a And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:226 And there are many hadiths regarding the virtue of various types of dhikr.

The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah (Hallowed be Allah), Al-Hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa-Allah (There is no deity but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greater).
أحب الكلام إلى الله أربع: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبرTwo words light on the tongue, beloved to the Most Merciful, and heavy in the scale: Subhan Allah wa bihamdih (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him), Subhan Allah al-Azim (Glory be to Allah the Magnificent)
كلمتان خفيفتان على اللسان حبيبتان إلى الرحمن ثقيلتان في الميزان: سبحان الله وبحمده، سبحان الله العظيم
