سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ، وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ، وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ، وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ.

Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him — by the number of His creation, by the measure of His pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the ink of His words. (Said three times in the morning.)

عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ أُمِّ المؤْمنينَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنها: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا بُكْرَةً حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ، وَهِيَ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَضْحَى، وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ، فَقَالَ: «مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي فَارَقْتُكِ عَلَيْهَا؟» قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ».
Juwayriyah, Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left her after Fajr while she was in her place of prayer, then returned later in the morning while she was still seated. He said: "Are you still in the state I left you in?" She said: "Yes." The Prophet said: "I have since said four words three times that, if weighed against what you have been saying since this morning, would outweigh them: Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdih, ‘adada khalqih, wa riḍā nafsih, wa zinata ‘arshih, wa midāda kalimātih."
