Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Teach me something that will suffice me in place of the Qur'an. He said: «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ» Say this. Sufyan says: In the narration of Abu Khalid al-Wasiti, these words are also present that the man said: These words are for my Lord, what is there for me? He said: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي» O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, and grant me well-being. Recite this. The man said: Four words are for my Lord and four are for me.
