Is it true that whoever says "Subhan Allah Al-Azim wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah, the Most Magnificent, and with His praise)" will have a palm tree planted for him in Paradise, by analogy with the hadith "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and with His praise)"?
The hadith in question was narrated by Al-Tirmidhi: "Whoever says, 'Subhan Allah Al-Adheem wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah, the Most Magnificent, and with His praise),' a date palm will be planted for him in Paradise." Al-Albani graded it as authentic. It was also narrated in other than Al-Tirmidhi: "Whoever says, 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and with His praise),' a date palm will be planted for him in Paradise," narrated by Al-Bazzar. Al-Nasa'i transmitted in Al-Kubra: "Whoever says, 'Subhan Allah Al-Adheem (Glory be to Allah, the Most Magnificent),' a tree will be planted for him in Paradise." Therefore, whoever utters any of these phrases is hoped to attain the reward, but the wording found in Al-Tirmidhi's narration is preferable due to its inclusion of an additional word.
