It is reported by way of 'um 'al-mu'mineen Juwayriyata, , that the Prophet left her place at an early time as he was about to pray the Subh Prayer. She was in her prayer area; he returned after he had entered upon the time of dhuhă(13), and she was sitting. He said "Are you still in that state I left you upon?" She said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah said "After I left you, I repeated four phrases, three times. If these were balanced against what you have said since the beginning of this day they would weigh (or, as the Arabic allows, outweigh) them: Subhăna 'allăhi `adada khalqihi, subhăna 'allăhi ridhă nafsihi, subhăna 'allăhi zinata `arshihi, subhăna 'allăhi midăda kalimătihi(14)."
Footnotes
(13) Adh-dhuhă refers to the time period after the Sun reveals itself and before noon. In this hadeeth it means that the Messenger returned at a time after the Sun had risen.
(14) Glory be to Allah, the number of his creations, his self-contentment, the weight of his Throne, the ink of his words. Explanation: The one that says this is expressing a want to say: Subhăna 'allăh (glory be to Allah) as many times as the creation of Allah is numerous, a number of times corresponding to his Self-Contentment, a number of times corresponding to the weight of Allah's Throne, and as many times as it could be written with the ink necessary for writing the words of Allah [see Surat 'Al-Kahf (#18) V.109]. Although one is not able to say Subhăna 'allăh that many times, Allah rewards him as having done so due to his aspiration and desire of the same.
