Question:
Regarding this, O His Eminence the Shaykh, he asks: What are the best dhikr?
Answer:
One should recite the prescribed dhikr, saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 3812Sahih (Darussalam) one hundred times in the morning and evening, and saying: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) every day. The hadiths report that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2692, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6403 This is a great virtue.
It is recommended for the believer to recite these constantly, one hundred times a day: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things," at the beginning of the day or during the day, as is easy for him. However, if he says it at the beginning of the day, it is better. It will be for him the equivalent of freeing ten slaves, Allah will write for him one hundred good deeds, erase one hundred bad deeds from him, and he will be protected from Shaytan that day until evening. This is a great virtue. I hope that every Muslim will maintain this, and every Muslim woman will maintain it.
Likewise, "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to Allah and His praise) one hundred times in the morning, and "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" one hundred times in the evening. All of this is recommended.
Likewise, "Subhan Allah al-Azim wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to Allah the Magnificent and His praise) as many times as His creation, "Subhan Allah rida nafsihi" (Glory be to Allah as much as He is pleased with Himself), "Subhan Allah wazn 'Arshihi" (Glory be to Allah as much as the weight of His Throne), and "Subhan Allah mi'dad kalimatihi" (Glory be to Allah as much as the ink of His words), three times. One should recite these frequently in the morning and evening, just three times. All of this contains great good.
Likewise, "Subhan Allah 'adad ma khalaqa fi al-sama'" (Glory be to Allah as many as He created in the heavens), "Subhan Allah 'adad ma khalaqa fi al-ard" (Glory be to Allah as many as He created on the earth), "Subhan Allah 'adad ma khalaqa baynahuma" (Glory be to Allah as many as He created between them), "Subhan Allah 'adad ma huwa khaliq" (Glory be to Allah as many as He is the Creator of). And "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) is the same, and "La ilaha illa Allah" (There is no god but Allah) is the same, and "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) is the same, and "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah" (There is no power and no strength except with Allah) is the same. Yes.

Regarding this, O His Eminence the Shaykh, he asks: What are the best dhikr?
Answer:
One should recite the prescribed dhikr, saying:
Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi (Glory and praise is to Allah) one hundred times
سبحان الله وبحمده مائة مرةNone has the right to be worshipped by Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the praise, [He gives life and causes death,] and He has power over all things
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد يحيي ويميت وهو على كل شيء قدير مائة مرةAbu 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 البحرWhoever says: "La ilaha illal-lah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk wa lahul- hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shai'in qadir," one hundred times will get the same reward as given for manumitting ten slaves; and one hundred good deeds will be written in his accounts, and one hundred sins will be deducted from his accounts, and it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Satan on that day till night, and nobody will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than he.
من قال: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير في يوم مائة مرة؛ كتب الله له عدل عشر رقاب، وكتب الله له مائة حسنة، ومحا عنه مائة سيئة، وكان في حرز من الشيطان يومه ذلك حتى يمسي، ولم يأت أحد بأفضل مما جاء به إلا رجل عمل أكثر من عملهIt is recommended for the believer to recite these constantly, one hundred times a day: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things," at the beginning of the day or during the day, as is easy for him.
