More Beloved to Allaah
Translated
By
Abbas Abu Yahya
Muslim collected in his book ‘Saheeh’ from the hadeeth of Abu Hurairah who said: the Messenger of Allaah –ﷺ said:
‘Indeed that I say:
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ،
وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
‘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,’ is more beloved to me than what the sun rose upon.’
[Saheeh Muslim]
