The question

Is it permissible for a Muslim to combine the ذكرs mentioned in the Hadiths about the enduring good deeds (al-Baqiyat al-Salihat) into a single supplication, such as: "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim, wal-Hamdu lillahi Rabbil-Alameen, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, wa tabarak Allah," or would this be considered a contravention of the saying of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?

The answer

It is permissible to perform Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) using the aforementioned phrases: "Subhanallah wa bihamdihi (Glorified is Allah and praised be He), Subhanallah Al-Azim (Glorified is Allah, the Most Magnificent), Walhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin (And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds), Wa La ilaha illa Allah (And there is no god but Allah), Wallahu Akbar (And Allah is the Greatest), Wa La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (And there is no might nor power except with Allah), and Tabarakallah (Blessed is Allah)." There is no objection to combining them, as all of them are prescribed forms of Dhikr. The reward mentioned in the Hadith of Umm Hani' is hoped for, where the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told her that saying "Allahu Akbar," "Alhamdulillah," and "Subhanallah" one hundred times is better than one hundred horses, or camels, or slaves freed in the way of Allah.
