"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I cannot learn anything of the Quran; teach me something that I can say instead of reciting the Quran.' He said: 'Say: SubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent ).'"

لم أجد له حديثا منكر المتن وهو إلى الصدق أقرب منه إلى غيره ويكتب حديثه
machine translationI did not find any ḥadīth of his with an objectionable text (munkar al-matn); he is closer to truthfulness than to otherwise, and his ḥadīth is to be written down.
