Shortcut # 10 – Dua after Fajr (Dawn) Juwairiya reported that Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out from (her apartment) in the morning as she was busy in observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there. He (the Prophet) said to her: “You have been in the same seat since I left you. She said: Yes. Thereupon Allah’s Prophet (PBUH) said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them and (these words) are: ‘Hallowed be Allaah and praise is due to Him according to the number of His creation and according to the pleasure of His Self and according to the weight of His Throne and according to the ink (used in recording) words (for His Praise).”‘ – Sahih Muslim- The Book of Remembrances, Supplications, Repentance and Seeking Forgiveness – Hadith Number 6575). A variation from Hadith Number 6576 mentions that he said:” Hallowed be Allah according to the number of His creation, hallowed be Allah according to the pleasure of His Self, hallowed be Allah according to the weight of His Throne, hallowed be Allah according to the ink used in recording His words.” Here is the simple Du’a: Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him, by the multitude of His creation, by His Pleasure, by the weight of His Throne, and by the extent of His Words. (Recite three times in Arabic upon rising in the morning). Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi: ‘Adada khalqihi, wa ridhaa nafsihi, wa zinata ‘arshihi wa midaada kalimaatihi.
