Virtue of This Dhikr & Related Hadith

Juwairiyah reported that the Prophet ﷺ left her early in the morning after the dawn prayer while she remained in her place of prayer. He returned later in the forenoon and found her still sitting there. He asked: “Have you remained in the same state since I left you?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “After leaving you, I said four phrases three times. If they were weighed against everything you have said since this morning, they would outweigh it: Glory and praise be to Allah, as many as His creation, as much as pleases Him, as weighty as His Throne, and as vast as the ink of His words.”
