, whose name is ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr according to the soundest of almost thirty statements, and who narrated more hadiths than any other Companion, that the Messenger of Allah 
said: “Two phrases that are light on the tongue but heavy in the scale and beloved to the All Merciful are Glory be to Allah and with His praise, and Glory be to Allah the Tremendous.” [5].This hadith is the last thing in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Abū Dharr reported: “The Messenger of Allah asked me: ‘Shall I not inform you of the dearest words to Allah ? The dearest words to Allah are Glory be to Allah and with His praise.’” According to another report, he said that the Messenger of Allah was asked: “Which words are the best?” He replied: “Those which Allah has chosen for His angels and His slaves: Glory be to Allah and with His praise.” [6].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim also that Samurah ibn Jundab reported: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The phrases most beloved to Allah are four: Glory be to Allah, Praise be to Allah, There is no god but Allah, and Allah is greater. No harm will befall you whichever of them you begin with.’” [7].

We also relate from the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from Juwayriyah 
, the Mother of the Believers, that the Messenger of Allah once left her early, after performing the ṣalāh of Ṣubḥ, while she was in her place of prayer. Then he returned at mid-morning and she was still sitting there. He asked: “Have you been in that same position since I left you?” She replied: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah said: “After I left you, I said four things, thrice each. If they were weighed against what you have said, they would outweigh it. They are: Glory be to Allah and with His praise, according to the number of His creations and to His pleasure and according to the weight of His throne and the ink of His words.” [9].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Abū Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “To say Glory be to Allah, all praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is greater is dearer to me than all that the sun rises over.” [11].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥs of Muslim and al-Bukhārī that Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever says There is no god but Allah, One without partners. His is the kingdom and His is the praise, and He has power over all things ten times will receive the reward of freeing four of the descendants of Ismā‘īl.” [12].

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥs of Muslim and al-Bukhārī that Abū Hurayrah stated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever says one hundred times a day There is no god but Allah, One without partners; His is the kingdom and His is the praise, and He has power over all things will be like someone who has set free ten slaves. One hundred good deeds will be written for him, one hundred of his sins will be forgiven, and it will be a shield for him against Shayṭān for that day until the evening. No one can produce anything better than it, except a man who does more than him. And whoever says Glory be to Allah and with His praise one hundred times a day will have his sins forgiven, even if they be [as abundant] as the foam of the sea.” [13].

And we relate from the books of at-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah that Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: “The best dhikr is to say: There is no god but Allah.” [14].At-Tirmidhī described this hadith as ḥasan.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of al-Bukhārī that Abū Mūsā al-Ash‘arī reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “He who remembers his Lord, compared to him who does not remember Him, is like the living compared to the dead.” [15].
said: “He who remembers his Lord, compared to him who does not remember Him, is like the living compared to the dead.” [15].And we relate from the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ reported that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and said: “Teach me something to say.” He replied: “Say: There is no god but Allah, One, without partners. Allah is vastly greater and abundant praise is due to Allah. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. There is no power and no strength except through Allah, the Mighty, the All-Wise.” The man said: “Those words are for my Lord. But what is for me?” He replied: “O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me and sustain me.” [16].

Again, we relate from the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ reported: “While we were with the Messenger of Allah he asked: ‘Are any of you unable to earn a thousand good deeds a day?’ Somebody in the gathering asked: ‘How can any one of us earn a thousand good deeds?’ He answered: ‘If he glorifies Allah one hundred times, a thousand good deeds will be written for him or one thousand wrong actions will be eliminated for him.’” [17].

Al-Burqānī said: Shu‘bah, Abū ‘Awānah and Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān narrated it from Mūsā, from whom Muslim narrated it with wa yuḥaṭṭu (and He reduces. . .) without the letter alif.
We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Abū Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Every morning there is charity due on every joint of your bodies. Extolling the glory of Allah is charity, praising Allah is charity, declaring the oneness of Allah is charity and saying ‘Allah is greater’ is charity. To command good and forbid evil is charity. The equivalent of that is two rak‘ahs of ṣalāh performed in the forenoon.” [18].I say: the word as-sulāmā with a ḍammah on the letter sīn and no doubling of the letter lām means a member or limb (‘uḍw), and the plural is sulāmayāt with fatḥah on the letter mīm and no doubling on the letter yā’.

We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and at-Tirmidhī that Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ narrated that he went with the Messenger of Allah to a woman, and in front of her were date stones or pebbles which she was using to make tasbīḥ. He said: “Should I not show you something that is easier and better than this? Glory be to Allah, equal to what He has created in the heavens; Glory be to Allah, equal to what He has created on Earth; Glory be to Allah, equal to the amount of what is between them; Glory be to Allah, equal to what He will create. And Allah is greater, equal to that, and All praise is due to Allah, equal to that; and There is no god but Allah, equal to that; and There is no power and no strength [except by Allah], equal to that.” [20].At-Tirmidhī described this hadith as ḥasan.

And we relate from both, [21].with an isnād that is ḥasan, that Yusayrah , a female Companion and Emigrant, reported that the Messenger of Allah commanded them (the women Companions) to pay attention to doing takbīr, taqdīs and tahlīl and to count them on their fingers, for [their fingers] will be questioned and examined about them.

We relate in the book of at-Tirmidhī that ‘Abdullāh ibn Busr—with a ḍammah on the bā’ and a sukūn on the sīn—the Companion , reported that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, the decrees of Islam have become too numerous for me, so tell me something that I can adhere (atashabbathu) to.” He replied: “Let your tongue always be moist with dhikr of Allah .” [25].At-Tirmidhī said, described this as a ḥasan hadith.”

And we relate from it (the book of at-Tirmidhī) that Abū Sa‘īd al-Khudrī said: “The Messenger of Allah was asked: ‘Which form of worship will be the best in rank in the sight of Allah on the Day of Judgment?’ He said: ‘Men and women who engage in Allah’s remembrance abundantly’, I asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah, more than him who goes on military expeditions in the Way of Allah ?’ He said: ‘Even if he strikes the kāfirūn and the mushrikūn with his sword until it breaks and is stained with blood, the one who remembers Allah will still be superior to him in rank.’” [26].

I shall discuss the subject matter contained in this book in order. I will start with what one should say when he first gets up from sleep, and then move on sequentially until one goes to sleep at night, as well as when he wakes up at night. And from Allah comes all ability and success.
