Subhan Allah wa bi-hamdih a hundred times in a day

سبحان الله وبحمده مائة مرة في اليوم

Whoever says "Glory be to God and His is the praise" a hundred times in a day has his sins shed even if they were like the foam of the sea, in Malik's narration from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him) in al-Bukhari Sahih al-Bukhari 6405 — bad deeds erased and sins shed; forgiveness of past sins and in the Muwatta Muwatta 561. The text does not number the erasure; it likens it to what cannot be counted, so the calculator does not add it up as a figure and shows it as a written result.
