This wazifa / tasbih includes two important and essential acts prescribed in Islam
1. Glorification and Praises of Allah in “Subhanallahil Azeemi Wa Bi-ham-dehe ‘Ada-da Khal-Qehe”: To understand the hidden meaning in these words this wazifa can be classified into three words (a)“Subhanallahi Wa Bi-ham-dehe”, (b)Allah’s name “Ya Azeemu” (c)and using the words “Ada-da Khal-Qehe”
a. Benefits of “Subhanallaahi Wa Bi-ham-dehe”: This contains two words “Subhanallaah(Glory be to Allah Who is above all faults)” and “Alhamdulillaah(All Praise b to Allah)”, therefore, all the blessings and virtues contained in the hadith related to the recitation of “Subhanallaah” and “Alhamdulillaah” will be applicable on reciting “Subhanallahi Wa Bi-ham-dehe”. We are highlighting few ahadith regarding the virtues of these phrases:
1. Abu Hurayra[RA] reported that the Prophet[SA] said: “There are two phrases that are light on the tongue but heavy on the scale of rewards and are dear to the Gracious One. These are:“Subhanallahil Azeemi Wa Bi-ham-dehe” [Bukhari]

5. Prophet[SA] said: “The dearest phrases to Allah are four: Subhan Allah, Wa al-hamdu lillah, Wa la ilaha illallah, Wallahu akbar. It doesn’t matter whichever of them you say first”. [Muslim, Nasa’i]

And its seedlings areSubhanAllah, walhamdulilah, wa la ilaha ilAllah, waAllahu Akbar(the above). [Tirmidhi and Tabarani whose version adds: “There is no power nor strength save through Allah”]
7. Hazrat Umaama[RA] narrates that Prophet[SA] said: “One who is unable to pray during the night or is too miser to spend money or is too coward to take part in Jihad, should recite “SubhanAllahi Wa Bihamdihi” excessively, because this action is more valuable to Allah then spending in his path, a mountain load of gold”. [Tabarani]
8. Prophet [SA] said “Whoever says: ‘Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi’a hundred times during a day, will have all his sins wiped off even if they were as numerous as the foam, on the surface of the sea.” [Muslim, Tirmidhi, and Nasa’i]
9. Abu Darda RA narrates that Prophet SAW said: Say SubhanAllah, Alhamdulilah, La ilaha ilAllah, Allahu Akbar and Wala hawla wala quwwata illa billaah, these are form the everlasting good deeds, which remove sins like the leaves shed from the trees and these are from the treasures of paradise.[Tabarani]
10. Abu Hurairah RA narrates that Prophet SAW came to us and said: Take your shields! Sahabah said: O Rasululaah! Has any of the enemy come? He said: Take your shields as a protection from the Hell-Fire! Say, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulilah, La ilaha ilAllah, Allahu Akbar and Wala hawla wala quwwata illa billaah, these words will come from the front, back, right and left and these are those good deeds for which the reward will be given eternally. [Tabarani]

13. Whoever recites- SubhanAllah one Hundred times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him or a thousand bad deeds are wiped away. [Muslim]
14. Àbdullāh Ibn Úmar RA says that Rasūlullāh SAW said that when the time for the demise of Nūh u approached, he advised his son to recite two sentences. One was- La ilaha ilAllah, while the second was- Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi, these two statements constitute the salāh of everything and everything is given sustenance because of them. (Adabul Mufrad)
15. Jābir Ibn Àbdullāh RA says that Rasūlullāh SAW said, “I am showing the thing which Nūh AS advised his son with. It is the statement- Subhan Allahi wa bi hamdihi ,the entire creation reads this sentence and receives sustenance due to it.” (al-Mustaghfirī)
16. Àbdullāh Ibn Úmar RA says that a person complained about his poverty to Rasūlullāh SAW. Rasūlullāh SAW asked him why he did not recite the words of the angels and the hymns of the creation. They are- SUB-HAA-NAL-LAAHI WA BIHAMDIHI, SUB-HAA-NAL-LAAHIL AZEEME ASTAGFIRULLAAH, read this phrase a hundred times before the Fajr Salāh after the time of Fajr has entered and the world will come submissive to you.” (al-Mustaghfirī)

b. Benefits of reciting Allah’s name Ya Azeemu [The Supreme Glory, The Mighty Splendor, The Most Grand, The Greatest]: This is one of the blessed names of Allah that appears in the last part of the greatest verse of the Holy Quran i.e Ayatul Kursi, some scholars have mentioned that there is a possibility that last part of Ayatul Kursi contains the greatest name of Allah i.e Isme Azaam. The author of “Ruhul maaani” explaining the meaning of this name in the last part of Ayatul Kursi in his tafseer of Quran and he writes that the verse includes many of Allah’s attributes like he is Self Subsisting, Maintainer of others, free of all defects and shares no grounds of similarity with any being,
He controls every thing, creating every original and duplicate, He is the Most Powerful to address matters, Who knows every apparent and hidden phenomenon, nothing can overwhelm Him, He is free of anything not befitting His position and no mind can possibly perceive his attributes in totality. According to Tafsir of Ibn Kathir RA the word Al-Azeem has two meanings (1) It means perfection and greatness belong to Allaah subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa and none else and His knowledge is perfect and all encompassing, his power is perfect and all encompassing, nothing weakens Him and His wisdom is perfect. (2)The second meaning is that nobody should be therefore glorified or worshipped except for Allaah and that any praise you give to the creation is because Allaah has given that quality to the object praised. So praise is again really due to Allaah.

c. Benefits of using “Ada-da Khal-Qehe”: Our Prophet SAW has taught us a secret way of multiplying the virtues by post-fixing words like “Ada-da Khal-Qehe” to certain words used to praise and glorify Allah. For the purpose of reference we only present about three hadith, however, if a person is interested to learn more ahadith about the virtues of using “Adada..”, he should refer to Muntakhab Ahadith compiled by Maulvi Muhammad Yousuf kandhlavi RA.
1. Juwairiyah bint Al-harith[R.A], the blessed wife of Prophet[SA] said: The Prophet[SA] came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet[SA] said, “Are you still in the same position as I left you”. I replied, affirmative. Thereupon Prophet[SA] said, “I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighted against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are:
Sub-haa-nal-laahi Wa Bi-ham-dihi ‘Ada-da Khal-Qihi, Wa Riza Naf-sihi, Wa Zinatah ‘Ar-shi-hi, Wa Mida’-da Kali-ma-tihi [Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creation, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words[for His Praise]” [Muslim]
2. Safiyya bint Huyayy[RA], the blessed wife of Prophet[SA] said: The Prophet came in to see me and in front of me there were four thousand date-stones with which I was making tasbih [counting ‘Subhan Allah’]. He said: “You make tasbih with so many! Shall I teach you what surpasses your number of tasbih?” She said: “Teach me!” He said: Say:
Sub-haa-nal-laahi `Adada Khal-Qihi [Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim]
3. Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas reported that once the Prophet SAW, saw a woman who had some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as beads to glorify Allah. The Prophet said to her, “Let me tell you something which would be easier or more excellent for you than that.” So he told her to say instead:
Subhan allahi `adada ma khalaqa fi s-sama’,
Subhan allahi `adada ma khalaqa fi al-ard,
Subhan allahi `adada ma khalaqa bayna dhalik,
Subhan allahi `adada ma huwa khaliq,
Allahu akbaru ‘adada ma khalaqa fi al-sama’,
Allahu akbaru ‘adada ma khalaqa fi l-’ard,
Allahu akbaru ‘adada ma khalaqa bayna dhalik,
Allahu akbaru ‘adada ma huwa khaliq,
Al-hamdu lillahi `adada ma khalaqa fi al-sama’,
Al-hamdu lillahi `adada ma khalaqa fi l-’ard,
Al-hamdu lillahi `adada ma khalaqa bayna dhalik,
Al-hamdu lillahi `adada ma huwa khaliq,
La ilaha illallahu `adada ma khalaqa fi al-sama’,
La ilaha illallahu `adada ma khalaqa fi al-ard,
La ilaha illallahu `adada ma khalaqa bayna dhalik,
La ilaha illallahu `adada ma huwa khaliq,
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi `adada ma khalaqa fi al-sama’,
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi `adada ma khalaqa fi al-ard,
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi `adada ma khalaqa bayna dhalik,
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi `adada ma huwa khaliq.
“Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He has created in Heaven,
Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He has created on Earth,
Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of what He has created between them,
Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of that which He is creating.”
and then repeat all of the above four times but substituting “Glory be to Allah” by:
- “Allah is the most great” in the first repetition,
- “Praise be to Allah” in the second repetition,
- “There is no god but Allah” in the third repetition, and
- “There is no change and no power except with Allah” in the fourth repetition. (Narrated by
Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi who said it is hasan, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, al-Nasa’i, and al-Hakim, who said it is sahih according to the criterion of Muslim)
Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi who said it is hasan, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban in his Sahih, al-Nasa’i, and al-Hakim, who said it is sahih according to the criterion of Muslim)
2.
