Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: Once Saad, with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, visited a woman in front of whom were some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as a rosary to glorify Allah. He (the Prophet) said: I tell you something which would be easier (or more excellent) for you than that. He said (it consisted of saying): Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created in Heaven; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created on Earth; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He has created between them; Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He is creating; Allah is most great a similar number of times; Praise (be to Allah) a similar number of times; and There is no god but Allah a similar number of times; There is no might and no power except in Allah a similar number of times.
