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».
Imenukuliwa kutoka kwa Juwairia mama wa waumini radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake: Ya kuwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake siku moja alitoka kwake asubuhi pindi alipo sali sala ya asubuhi, na yeye akiwa katika sehemu yake ya kusalia, kisha akarudi baada ya kuingia wakati wa dhuha, naye akiwa amekaa, akasema: "Bado upo kwenye hali yako niliyo kuacha nayo?" Akasema: "Ndio", Akasema Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: "Hakika ungesema maneno manne, mara tatu, kama ungeyapima kwa uliyo yasema toka siku ya leo yangeyazidi uzito: Sub-haana llahi Wabihamdihi, Adada khalqihi, Waridhwaa nafsihi, Wazinata Arshihi, Wamidaada kalimaatihi" (Ametakasika Mwenyezi Mungu na sifa njema ni zake, kwa idadi ya viumbe vyake, na ridhaa ya nafsi yake, na uzito wa Arshi yake, na wino wa maneno yake)
Juwayriyah, Mother of the Believers, (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went out from her house in the early morning when he prayed the Morning prayer, while she was in her prayer place. Then he returned after offering the Forenoon prayer while she was still sitting. He said: "Are you still in the state I left you in?" She said: Yes. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I said four words three times after I had left you; if they were to be weighed against what you have been saying since morning, they would outweigh them: Subhānallāh wa bihamdih, ‘adada khalqih, wa rida nafsih, a zinata ‘arshih, wa midāda kalimātih (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him by the number of His creation, by His own pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the ink of His words.)."
Kumebainishwa fadhila za maneno haya, na himizo la kuyasema.
Dhikri zinazidiana ubora, ziko baadhi yake ni bora kuliko zingine.
Amesema Nawawi kuhusu kauli yake "Ametakasika Mwenyezi Mungu na sifa njema ni zake kwa wino wa maneno yake": Na makusudio yake ni kupita kiasi katika wingi; kwa sababu ametaja mwanzo yanayoweza kudhitibiwa na idadi kubwa miongoni mwa idadi ya viumbe vyake, kisha uzito wa Arshi, kisha akapanda juu zaidi kwa viumbe vikubwa kuliko hivyo, na akavielezea kwa hili, yaani yale yasiyodhitiwa na idadi kama ambavyo hayahesabiki.
Amesema bin Qayyim: Hakika kinaingia katika moyo wa mwenye kumtaja Mwenyezi Mungu wakati anaposema: Sub-haanallaahi wabihamdihi, adada khalqihi...mpaka mwisho wake katika kumjua kwake na kumtakasa kwake kwa kiasi hiki kilichotajwa cha idadi ni jambo kubwa kuliko kinachokita katika moyo wa msemaji, anaposema: "Sub-haanallaah" pekee.
Tumeelekezwa katika maneno machache yanayokusanya maana pana, yanayobeba matamshi kidogo, na yanalipwa kwayo fadhila na thawabu kubwa.
