Translation

Muhammad ibn Bashshar informed us; he said: Muhammad narrated to us; he said: Shu‘bah narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman, the freedman of the family of Talhah, who said: I heard Kurayb, from Ibn ‘Abbas, from Juwayriyah bint al-Harith, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by her while she was in the mosque supplicating. Then he passed by her near midday and said to her, “Have you remained as you were?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “Shall I teach you some words to say—namely: ‘Glory be to Allah as numerous as His creation’”—three times—“‘Glory be to Allah, as much as pleases Him’”—three times—“‘Glory be to Allah, equal to the weight of His Throne’”—three times—“‘Glory be to Allah, as plentiful as the ink of His words’”—three times.
