Authentic
Supplications of the Prophet 
The Virtues of Tahmeed, Tahleel,
and Tasbeeh (12) |
It is reported by way of 'um 'al-mu'mineen Juwayriyata,
 ,
that the Prophet
left her place at an early time as he was about to pray
the Subh Prayer. She was in her prayer area; he returned
after he had entered upon the time of dhuhã(13),
and she was sitting. He said "Are you still in that
state I left you upon?" She said: Yes. The Messenger
of Allah
said "After I left you, I repeated four phrases, three
times. If these were balanced against what you have
said since the beginning of this day they would weigh
(or, as the Arabic allows, outweigh) them: Subhãna
'allãhi `adada khalqihi, subhãna 'allãhi
ridhã nafsihi, subhãna 'allãhi
zinata `arshihi, subhãna 'allãhi midãda
kalimãtihi(14)."

(13)
Adh-dhuhã refers to the time period after the
Sun reveals itself and before noon. In this hadeeth
it means that the Messenger
returned at a time after the Sun had risen.
(14)
Glory be to Allah, the number of his creations, his
self-contentment, the weight of his Throne, the ink
of his words. Explanation: The one that says this
is expressing a want to say: Subhãna 'allãh
(glory be to Allah) as many times as the creation
of Allah is numerous, a number of times corresponding
to his Self-Contentment, a number of times corresponding
to the weight of Allah's Throne, and as many times
as it could be written with the ink necessary for
writing the words of Allah [see Surat 'Al-Kahf (#18)
V.109]. Although one is not able to say Subhãna
'allãh that many times, Allah rewards him as
having done so due to his aspiration and desire of
the same.
