وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجِبْرِيلَ: (يَا جِبْرِيلُ أَخْبِرْنِي بِثَوَابِ مَنْ قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى فِي صَلَاتِهِ أَوْ فِي غَيْرِ صَلَاتِهِ). فَقَالَ: (يَا مُحَمَّدُ، مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ يَقُولُهَا فِي سُجُودِهِ أَوْ فِي غَيْرِ سُجُودِهِ، إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ فِي مِيزَانِهِ أَثْقَلَ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ وَالْكُرْسِيِّ وَجِبَالِ الدُّنْيَا، وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: صَدَقَ عبدي، أنا فوق كل شي، وليس فوقي شي، اشْهَدُوا يَا مَلَائِكَتِي أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ، وَأَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا مَاتَ زَارَهُ مِيكَائِيلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى جَنَاحِهِ، فَأَوْقَفَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ شَفِّعْنِي فِيهِ، فَيَقُولُ قَدْ شَفَّعْتُكَ فِيهِ، فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ .

The Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – said to Sayyiduna Jibreel – peace be upon him, “O Jibreel, tell me about the virtues of the one who recites سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى during his Salah or otherwise.”  He replied, “O Muhammad (may Allah send peace and blessings upon him), Whichever believing man or woman recites it in their Sajdah or otherwise, definitely receives its reward heavier than the ‘Arsh and the Divine Throne and all the mountains of the world combined, and Allah Almighty states, “My servant has spoken the truth.  I am above everything and there is nothing above Me.  Bear witness, O my angels, that I have forgiven him and entered him in Paradise.  When he dies, Mikael will visit him everyday, and he will carry him on his wing on the Day of Judgment and will present him before the Almighty Allah.  He will say, ‘Oh my Lord, grant me the permission to intercede’ and the Almighty will say, ‘I have granted you the intercession, take it and go to Paradise’.”
