1500. It was reported that Sa'eed bin Abī Hilāl narrated from Khuzaimah, from 'Aishah, the daughter of Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāṣ, from her father that he once visited a woman with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who had some date-seeds — or pebbles — in front of her. She was using them to (count) her glorifications (Tasbīh) of Allāh. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Should I not inform you of something which is easier, or better, for you than this? Say: 'Subhān Allāh, 'adada mā khalaqa fis-samā'i, wa Subhān Allāh 'adada mā khalaqa fil-'arḍi, Subhān Allāh 'adada mā khalaqa baina dhalika wa Subhān Allāh 'adada mā huwa khālaq, wa Allāhu Akbar mithla dhālik, wal-ḥamdulillāh mithla dhālik, wa lā ilāha illallāhu mithla dhālik, wa lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāhi mithla dhālik' (Glorious is Allāh, (equivalent to) the number of objects that He has created in the Heavens, and Glorious is Allāh, (equivalent to) the number of objects that He has created in the earth, and Glorious is Allāh, (equivalent to) the number of objects that He has created in between them, and Glorious is Allāh, (equivalent to) the number of objects that He will yet create, and Allāh Akbar similar to that, and Al-Hamdulillāh similar to that, and Lā ilāha illallāh similar to that, and Lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh similar to that).”” (Hasan)
