Virtue and source
Juwayriyyah b. al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: "The Prophet ﷺ left (my home) in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. He ﷺ asked: 'Are you still in the same position as I left you?' I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said: 'I recited four phrases three times after I left you. If everything that you have said today was put in the scales, [the above] would outweigh it.'" (Muslim 2140, Abu Dawud 1503)
How to read this dhikr
4 Phrases That Outweigh All Other Dhikr is part of the morning azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the morning. The best time is after Fajr, before the sun rises; if you miss that window it can still be read later in the morning, before Dhuhr.
It is read 3 times. In the Sadeeq app a single tap counts each repetition and moves you on automatically when you reach 3, so you can keep your attention on the words rather than on a counter.
