The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted in the context of the hadiths in the chapter on the virtue of dhikr and the exhortation to it: "From the Mother of the Believers, Juwayriyyah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her)Riyad as-Salihin 1433 Muslim narrated it, and in a narration from him: Sunan Ibn Majah 3808Sahih (Darussalam) And in a narration of al-Tirmidhi: Riyad as-Salihin 1433 ".
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This hadith is among the hadiths that explain the virtue of a type of dhikr, which is what the Mother of the Believers, Juwayriyyah bint al-Harith, narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he left her after Fajr and then returned to her in the late morning while she was glorifying and praising Allah, so he explained to her (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he had said after her words that weigh as much as what she had said since Fajr or since the dawn: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi 'adad khalqihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi rida nafsihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi zinata 'arshihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi midad kalimatihi three times. As for Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi 'adad khalqihi, its meaning is: that you glorify Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and praise Him by the number of His creations, and the creations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are not counted except by Allah, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Muddaththir 74:31] And the weight of His Throne is not known except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because the Throne is the greatest of the creations we know, for it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: So it is a great creation whose measure is not known except by Allah (Mighty and Majestic), meaning: that you glorify Allah and praise Him with a praise that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is pleased with, and what praise is Allah pleased with except that it is the best and most complete of praise, and midad is what is used to write with, and the words of Allah the Exalted are not encompassed by anything, Allah the Exalted said: [Luqman 31:27] And He the Exalted said: [Al-Kahf 18:109] So the words of Allah the Exalted have no end. Therefore, the important thing is that we should maintain this dhikr: Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi 'adad khalqihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi rida nafsihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi zinata 'arshihi three times, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi midad kalimatihi three times, so the total is twelve times.

The Prophet (ﷺ) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Are you still in the same position as I left you." I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, "I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi [Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise)] ."
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج من عندها بكرة حين صلى الصبح وهي في مسجدها ثم رجع بعد أن أضحى وهي جالسة فقال: ما زلت على الحال التي فارقتك عليها؟ قالت: نعم، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: لقد قلت بعدك أربع كلمات ثلاث مرات لو وزنت بما قلتِ منذ اليوم لوزنتهن، سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه ورضا نفسه وزنة عرشه ومداد كلماتهSubhan-Allahi 'adada khalqiha, Subhan-Allahi rida nafsihi, Subhan-Allahi zinata 'arshihi, Subhan-Allah midada kalimatihi (Glory is to Allah, as much as the number of His creation, glory is to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory is to Allah as much as the weight of His Throne, glory is to Allah as much as the ink of His words'
سبحان الله عدد خلقه، سبحان الله رضا نفسه، سبحان الله زنة عرشه، سبحان الله مداد كلماتهJuwairiyah bint Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer.

ألا أعلمك كلمات تقولينها سبحان الله عدد خلقه، سبحان الله عدد خلقه، سبحان الله عدد خلقه، سبحان الله رضا نفسه، سبحان الله رضا نفسه، سبحان الله رضا نفسه، سبحان الله زنة عرشه، سبحان الله زنة عرشه، سبحان الله زنة عرشه، سبحان الله مداد كلماته، سبحان الله مداد كلماته، سبحان الله مداد كلماتهThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him
وما يعلم جنود ربك إلا هوSubhan Allahi wa bihamdihi zinata 'arshihi
سبحان الله وبحمده زنة عرشهThe seven heavens and the seven earths in the Footstool are like a ring thrown into a vast expanse of land, and the excess of the Throne over the Footstool is like the excess of the vast expanse over this ring
إن السماوات السبع والأراضين السبع في الكرسي كحلقة ألقيت في فلاة من الأرض، وإن فضل العرش على الكرسي كفضل الفلاة على هذه الحلقةSubhan Allahi wa bihamdihi rida nafsihi
سبحان الله وبحمده رضا نفسهSubhan Allahi wa bihamdihi midad kalimatihi
سبحان الله وبحمده مداد كلماتهAnd if whatever trees upon the earth were pens and the sea [was ink], replenished thereafter by seven [more] seas, the words of Allah would not be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
ولو أنما في الأرض من شجرة أقلام والبحر يمده من بعده سبعة أبحر ما نفدت كلمات الله إن الله عزيز حكيمSay, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
