بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In this post, I’d like to share a hadith that contain four heavy phrases of dzikir that we can recite every morning. There are many hadiths that implore us do dzikir in the morning and evening. It is as a remembrance for us to be in a state that praises Allah.
The Hadith of Four Heavy Phrases of Dzikir
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج من عندها بكرة حين صلى الصبح وهي في مسجدها، ثم رجع بعد أن أضحي وهي جالسة، فقال: ”مازلت على الحالة التي فارقت عليها؟” قالت: نعم، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”لقد كنت بعدك أربع كلمات ثلاث مرات، لو وزنت بما قلت منذ اليوم لوزنتهن: سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه، ورضا نفسه، وزنة عرشه، ومداد كلماته
The Prophet (ﷺ) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Are you still in the same position as I left you.” I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, “I recited four words three times after I had left you.
If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier.
These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinataharshihi, wa midada kalimatihi.

The Four Heavy Phrases of Dzikir and Its Translation
سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه
ورضا نفسه
وزنة عرشه
ومداد كلماته
Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).
The dzikir is short, sweet and easy to memorize. The dzikir means that we acknowledge Allah as the greatest as the number of His creation, past, present and future. Allah is above all things created by Him.
