حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا نَوًى أَوْ حَصًى تُسَبِّحُ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُخْبِرُكِ بِمَا هُوَ أَيْسَرُ عَلَيْكِ مِنْ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ أَفْضَلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا خَلَقَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ مَا هُوَ خَالِقٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ .

Once Saad رضی اللہ عنہ, with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, visited a woman in front of whom were some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as a rosary to glorify Allah. He (the Prophet) said: I tell you something which would be easier (or more excellent) for you than that. He said (it consisted of saying): Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created in Heaven; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created on Earth; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created between them; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He is creating; Allah is most great a similar number of times; Praise (be to Allah) a similar number of times; and There is no god but Allah a similar number of times; There is no might and no power except in Allah a similar number of times.
