حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي رِشْدِينَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ، قَالَتْ مَرَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حِينَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فَرَجَعَ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ - أَوْ قَالَ انْتَصَفَ - وَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ " لَقَدْ قُلْتُ مُنْذُ قُمْتُ عَنْكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ هِيَ أَكْثَرُ وَأَرْجَحُ - أَوْ أَوْزَنُ - مِمَّا قُلْتِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ " .

It was narrated that Juwayriyah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by her after the dawn prayer—or after he had prayed it—while she was remembering Allah. He returned when the day had grown bright—or, one narrator said, reached midday—and she was still as she had been. He said, ‘Since I left you, I have said four phrases three times. They are greater and weightier—or, another narrator said, heavier in the Scale—than what you have said: “Glory be to Allah as numerous as His creation; glory be to Allah to the measure of His good pleasure; glory be to Allah as weighty as His Throne; glory be to Allah, as abundant as the ink of His words.”’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The report preserves two narrator uncertainties: whether the Prophet ﷺ passed by after or just following the dawn prayer, and whether he returned when the day was bright or at midday. It also gives variant wording for the comparison: greater and weightier, or heavier.
