Should one stop saying "Subhan Allah" frequently and at all times, or should one continue doing so?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Saying "Subhan Allah" (Glory be to Allah) upon seeing something astonishing or something from which one can learn a lesson is legislated. The evidence for its legislation is the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) approval of the action of the two Ansarites when they said, "Subhan Allah, O Messenger of Allah!" in astonishment at him (peace and blessings be upon him), as mentioned by the العلامة Ibn Uthaymin.
