Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى مِنْ الْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعًا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَمَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ كُتِبَ لَهُ عِشْرُونَ حَسَنَةً وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ عِشْرُونَ سَيِّئَةً وَمَنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَمَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا ثَلَاثُونَ حَسَنَةً أَوْ حُطَّ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثُونَ سَيِّئَةً.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq told us, saying: Isra'il informed us, from Abu Sinan, from Abu Salih al-Hanafi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said, "Allah has chosen four sayings: Glory be to Allah, Praise be to Allah, There is no god but Allah, and Allah is greatest. Whoever says 'Glory be to Allah,' twenty good deeds are recorded for him and twenty bad deeds are erased from him; whoever says 'Allah is greatest,' likewise; whoever says 'There is no god but Allah,' likewise; and whoever says 'Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds' of his own accord, thirty good deeds are recorded for him because of it, or thirty bad deeds are erased from him."
