Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:
“Uttering Subhān Allāh [far is Allāh from imperfection] in the scrolls of a person once, is better than the world and all that is therein. This is because the world will cease to exist and disappear, whereas the utterance of Subhān Allāh [far is Allāh from imperfection] and the righteous actions will remain ˹forever˺.”
Allāh, the Almighty, the Majestic said:
Wealth and children are the adornment of this worldly life, but the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in hope.¹
Sharh Riyādh us-Sāliheen, 3/478 | Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaymeen [may Allāh have mercy on him]
