Words for glorification of Allah, that are heavier on Scale of Deeds: تسبيح يثقل في الميزان

سُبْحـانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْـدِهِ
عَدَدَ خَلْـقِه
وَرِضـا نَفْسِـه
وَزِنَـةَ عَـرْشِـه
وَمِـدادَ كَلِمـاتِـه

(ثلاث مرات إذا أصبح)

Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him,
by the multitude of His creation,
by His Pleasure,
by the weight of His Throne,
and by the extent of His Words.

(Recite three times in Arabic upon rising in the morning.)

Subḥānallāhi wa biḥamdih:
adada khalqih, wa riḍā nafsih, wa zinataarshih,
wa midāda kalimātih.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out from Juwayriyyah (wife of the Prophet). Earlier her name was Barrah, and he changed it. When he went out she was in her place of worship, and when he returned she was in her place of worship.

He asked: Have you been in your place of worship continuously? She said: Yes. He then said: Since leaving you I have said three times four phrases which, if weighed against all that you have said (during this period), would prove to be heavier: “Glory be to Allah, and I begin with praise of Him to the number of His creatures, in accordance with His good pleasure, to the weight of His throne and to the ink (extent) of His words.”

حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عِنْدِ جُوَيْرِيَةَ – وَكَانَ اسْمُهَا بَرَّةَ فَحَوَّلَ اسْمَهَا – فَخَرَجَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلاَّهَا وَرَجَعَ وَهِيَ فِي مُصَلاَّهَا فَقَالَ ‏”‏ لَمْ تَزَالِي فِي مُصَلاَّكِ هَذَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ قَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
