Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha)
reported:
The Messenger of Allah
(Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,
"The uttering of the words:
"Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection) ,
Al-hamdu lillah
(all praise is due to Allah),
La ilaha illallah
(there is no true god except Allah) and
Allahu Akbar
(Allah is the Greatest)'
is dearer to me than anything
over which the sun rises.''
