Glory be to Allah and Praise... (RE, p. 54, OE, p. 48)
The Messenger of God (S) said, “That I might say, 'Glory be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is greater,' is more beloved to me than whatever the sun rises upon.” This is reported in Muslim, Bukhārī, and elsewhere, and in the sunnan of Nasā’ī, a ḥadīth states,“A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, ‘I cannot learn anything of the Qur’ān; teach me something that I can say instead.’" He said: ‘Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god except Allah, Allah is greater, and there is no power nor strength except by Allah, the Exalted and Mighty.’”
And in Muslim, a ḥadīth states, “The most excellent words after the Qur’ān are,‘Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god except Allah, Allah is greater.' ”
