The answer

The two formulations: "Subhanallah wa bihamdihi adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi..." (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, as many times as the number of His creation, and to the extent of His pleasure...) and "Subhanallah adada khalqihi, Subhanallah rida nafsihi..." (Glory be to Allah as many times as the number of His creation, Glory be to Allah to the extent of His pleasure...) are both correct. They were both mentioned in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Juwayriyah (may Allah be pleased with her). Sheikh Al-Albani also mentioned both formulations in Sahih Al-Targhib wa Al-Tarhib.
