Powerful Dhikr for Rewards and Benefits

Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)… for this, a thousand good deeds are written or a thousand sins are removed.
Subhan Allah wa bi Hamdih (Glory be to Allah and Praise Him)… this erases sins even if they are as abundant as the foam of the sea.
Subhan Allah al-Azim wa bi Hamdih (Glory be to Allah, the Most Great, and Praise Him)… for this, a palm tree is planted for him in Paradise (not limited in number).
Subhan Allah wa bi Hamdih, Subhan Allah al-Azim (Glory be to Allah and Praise Him, Glory be to Allah, the Most Great)… these two expressions weigh heavily on the Scale and are beloved to the Most Merciful (not limited in number).
There is no deity but Allah, alone without partners; to Him belongs the kingdom and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things competent… for the one who recites this, it is equivalent to freeing ten slaves, one hundred good deeds are written for him, one hundred sins are erased, and it becomes a barrier from Satan.
There is no power and no strength except with Allah… it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise (not limited in number).

I seek forgiveness from Allah… as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Majestic. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Majestic.

Dhikr When Hearing the Adhan

What to Say Upon Hearing the Adhan

One should say like the Muezzin except in the phrases “Hayya ‘ala-s-Salah” and “Hayya ‘ala-l-Falah,” where he should instead say: “La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah” (There is no power nor strength except with Allah).
According to Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever says upon hearing the Muezzin: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammad abduhoo wa rasooluhu radītu billahi rabban, wa bi Muhammad rasoolan, wa bil-Islam dinan’, his sins will be forgiven.” This was reported by Muslim.
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: “When you hear the call to prayer, say what the Muezzin says, then send blessings upon me; because whoever sends blessings upon me, Allah will send blessings upon him tenfold. Then ask Allah for Me the Wasila, for it is a rank in Paradise that is reserved for only one of Allah’s servants, and I hope that I will be that one. Whoever asks for Me the Wasila will be granted my intercession.” This was narrated by Muslim.
According to Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them), the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever says upon hearing the call: O Allah, Lord of this Perfect Call and the Established Prayer, grant Muhammad the Wasila and virtue, and raise him to the Praiseworthy station which You have promised him, my intercession will be granted to him on the Day of Resurrection.” This was reported by Al-Bukhari.

What to Say After Hearing the Adhan

O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our Master Muhammad.
O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the status of Wasila and virtue, and raise him to the Praiseworthy station which You have promised; indeed, You never fail in Your promise.

What to Say Between the Adhan and Iqama

It is recommended and encouraged to make supplication between the Adhan and Iqama.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Supplication is not rejected between the Adhan and Iqama.”
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) reiterated: “Indeed, supplication is not rejected between the Adhan and the Iqama, so make supplications.”
