Excellence of Tasbih, Tahmid, Tahlil, and Takbir

من فضل التسبيح والتحميد ، والتهليل ، والتكبير

وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ، ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ، حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ: (سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ)، (سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, and are loved by the Most Merciful One: Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdih, Subḥānallāhi ‘l-`Aẓīm. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, and are loved by the Most Merciful One: Glorified is Allah and praised is He, Glorified is Allah the Most Great.
