[Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim from the Hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him.]

[Reported by Muslim]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He who recites in the morning and in the evening the statement: 'SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi' one hundred times, will have his sins forgiven even if they were like the foam of the sea." [Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
