Sahih Muslim 2731b

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I tell you the words most beloved to Allah ﷻ?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me the words most beloved to Allah ﷻ." He said, "Indeed, the words most beloved to Allah ﷻ are: subḥān Allāh wa-bi-ḥamdihī (Exalted is Allah and praise be to Him.)"

Notes

• أَخْبِرْنِي بِأَحَبِّ الْكَلاَمِ إِلَى اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْكَلاَمِ إِلَى اللَّهِ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ».
