BLESSINGS OF EXALTING ALLAH

1473

“He (Sa'ad, the son of Abi Wakkas) was with the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, when they passed a woman who had a pile of date stones (or pebbles) in front of her which she used to count the number of exaltations of Allah she made, and he asked her, ‘Shall I inform you of a way which will be easier or better for you than this?’ Say, ‘Exalted is Allah in the number of those He has created in the heaven. Exalted is Allah in the number of those He has created in the earth. Exalted is Allah in the number of those between the two. Exalted is Allah in the number of those He will create.' Then say: 'Allah is Great' together with these phrases and 'All praise belongs to Allah' together with these phrases and 'There is no god except Allah' together with these phrases and 'There is no strength nor power except through Allah' together with these phrases."

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Sa'ad the son of Abi Wakkas who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
