Virtue and source
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you enters the morning, they should say [the above] three times. And when they enter the evening, they should say the same." (Nasaa'i in Sunan al-Kubra 10406)
How to read this dhikr
Praising Allah in the Morning 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.
