Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith, the speech most beloved to Allah is "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" (Glory be to Allah and His praise). And in the hadith that passed by us: Is the best dhikr "La ilaha illa Allah"?

Answer:
"La ilaha illa Allah" is among them; it is one of the four.
Q: No, is "Subhan Allah wa bihamdih" the hadith of Abu Dharr?
The Shaykh: There is a point of consideration here; it may be abrogated. It may be "from what is most beloved," meaning the preposition "min" (from), with the implied meaning being "from the deeds most beloved to Allah." This is because the hadiths regarding the speech most beloved to Allah are explicit in stating preference. And in the other authentic hadith:
Faith has over seventy branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but God, and the humblestالإيمان بضع وسبعون شعبة، فأفضلها قول: لا إله إلا الله، وأدناها..
Mishkat al-Masabih 5Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i)
it is explicit, the least of which is
removing something harmful from the roadإماطة الأذى عن الطريق
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2614Sahih (Darussalam)
some things that may be interpreted as "from what is most beloved," meaning.
