Question:
He says: I read in a book: (That whoever reads one hundred times: Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, Subhanaka Allahumma al-Azim (Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, Glory be to You, O Allah, the Magnificent), Allah will forgive his sins even if they were like the foam of the sea). Is this correct?
Answer:
There are authentic hadiths close to this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2692, so tasbih, tahlil, tahmid, and takbir are among the means of wiping away sins. He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: Sahih Muslim 2137a, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 924Hasan (Darussalam).
Therefore, every believing man and woman should increase in tasbih, tahmid, tahlil, takbir, and saying: La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power nor strength except with Allah). In that lies great good, and it is among the means of expiating sins, removing evil deeds, and multiplying good deeds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:217 meaning: the obligatory prayers Bulugh al-Maram 2:217 This is a great favor. It is recommended for the believer, male and female, after every obligatory prayer, after the dhikr, after the taslim and the dhikr, to say: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) thirty-three times each, then to complete the hundred by saying: La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir (There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent), based on the aforementioned hadith and other authentic hadiths from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this.
And if he says: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) twenty-five times after every prayer, that is sufficient. This is a sunnah (recommended practice), and this is a sunnah (recommended practice). If he does this or that, it is good.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who recites in the morning and in the evening (these words):" Exalted is Allah (He is free from imperfection)and all praise is due to Him" one hundred times, he would not bring on the Day of Resurrection anything excellent than this except one who utters these words or utters more than these words.
من قال حين يصبح وحين يمسي: سبحان الله وبحمده مائة مرة غفرت خطاياه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحرThe 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 أكبرSubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent )

من سبح الله دبر كل صلاةthirty-three times, and praises Allah (by saying Alhamdu-lillah) thirty-three times, and exalts Allah (by saying Allahu Akbar) thirty-three times, those are ninety-nine in all, and says to complete a hundred: La ilaha ill-Allahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahulhamdu, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shai'in Qadir (There is nothing which deserves to be worshipped except Allah Alone Who has no partner; to Him belongs the kingdom, to Him praise is due, and He has power over everything), his sins will be forgiven, even if they are as abundant as the foam of the sea.
