Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَأَنْ أَقُولَ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْس ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Translation
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: ‘To say “Glory be to God, praise be to God, there is no deity but God, and God is greatest” is dearer to me than everything over which the sun rises.’ Muslim transmitted it. The Arabic source grades it sahih (al-Albani).
