عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ، ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ، حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ».
Imepokewa Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Maneno mawili mepesi mno katika ulimi, ni mazito mno katika mizani, yanapendeka mno kwa Al-Rahmani (Mwingi wa rehema) Ni: Sub-haanallahil Adhwiim, Sub-haanallaahi wabihamdihi".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two words that are light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, and dear to the Most Merciful: subhān Allah al-‘azhīm (glory be to Allah, the Majestic), subhān Allah wa bihamdih (glory and praise be to Allah)."
