The Excellence of the Four Statements – Shaykh AbdurRazaaq al-Badr__

*Episode 1⃣

1⃣ so from the excellence of these words is that they are the most beloved speech to Allah.

Imam Muslim collected in his book from the hadeeth of Sumrah bin Jundab رضي الله عنه who said that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:

_*‘The most beloved speech to Allah consists of four, there is no harm with which one you begin, Subhana Allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar.’*_
[Saheeh Muslim]

And collected by Tayyalisi in his ‘Musnad’ with the wording:

_*‘There are four statements that are the most beloved speech to Allaah, and they are in the Qur’aan, there is no harm which one you begin with: Subhana Allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu Akbar.’*_
[Musnad at-Tayyalisi]

2⃣ From their excellence is that the Prophet ﷺ informed us that they are more beloved to him than what the sun rose upon (i.e. from the Dunyaa and what is in it,)

Muslim collected in his book ‘Saheeh’ from the hadeeth of Abu Hurairah who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

_*‘Indeed that I say: ‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and all praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest,’ (Subhana Allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar) is more beloved to me than what the sun rose upon.’*_
[Saheeh Muslim]
