What is the authenticity of the remembrance (dhikr): “Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi” (Glory be to Allah and with His praise, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, as many times as His creation, to the extent of His pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the ink of His words)? What is its benefit? Is the addition to it beyond the prophetic remembrance: “Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi” (Glory be to Allah and with His praise, as many times as His creation, to the extent of His pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the ink of His words) sound? Are there other hadiths about multiplied remembrance?
These invocations mentioned in the Sunnah, such as "Subhanallah wa bihamdihi, adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinata arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi" (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, as many times as the number of His creations, as much as pleases Him, as much as the weight of His Throne, and as much as the ink of His words), or "Subhanallah adada ma khalaqa, wa mil'a ma khalaqa..." (Glory be to Allah as many times as He created, and as much as fills what He created...), are considered amplified invocations whose virtue and reward surpass those of singular invocations. This is because they encompass glorification and magnification of Allah to an immense degree that numbers cannot enumerate. It is preferable to vary between the different forms of these reported invocations.
