3383. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh [may Allāh be pleased with him] narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The best remembrance is: ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allāh (Lā Ilāha Illallāh)’ and the best supplication is: ‘All praise is due to Allāh (Al-Ḥamdulillāh).’” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb, we do not know it except through the narration of Mūsā bin Ibrāhīm. ‘Alī bin Al-Madīnī and others reported this Ḥadīth from Mūsā bin Ibrāhīm.
٣٣٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ خِرَاشٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَفْضَلُ الذِّكْرِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ،» وَأَفْضَلُ الدُّعَاءِ الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. وَقَدْ رَوَى عَلِيُّ ابْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ.

“Lā Ilāhā Illallāh” means that “There is none worthy of worship except Allāh” and “Al-Ḥamdulillāh” means “All Praise is due to Allāh” because He is the only One who deserves praise. When someone praises Him, He gives him more, in this world and in the Hereafter. That is why “Al-Ḥamdulillāh” is considered the best supplication.
