- Rasulullah SAW once taught the recitation of dhikr which has great virtue. This dhikr weighs more than Mount Uhud.
Mount Uhud is a mountain located north of Medina. This mountain has its own position in Islam. This area became famous after the Battle of Uhud during the era of Rasulullah SAW.
In the book History of Mecca-Medina by Muslim Nasution there are a number of narrations that mention the special features of Mount Uhud. Rasulullah SAW said, "Mount Uhud is a mountain that loves us and we love it too." (HR Bukhari, Ahmad and Thabrani)

In another history, Rasulullah SAW said, "Mount Uhud is one of the mountains of heaven." (HR Baihaqi)
According to a history, Uhud means 'one'. It is so named because Mount Uhud unites the small mountains around it, so that the mountain is one unit (uhud) of several mountains.
Rasulullah SAW mentioned Mount Uhud several times in his words to give an example of the weight of the scale of good deeds. One of them was when Rasulullah SAW taught his friends the recitation of dhikr, which, when weighed, had more than Mount Uhud.
This is explained in the history contained in the books Sunan An-Nasa'i and Musnad Al-Bazzar. This hadith was also quoted by Brilly El-Rasheed in the book Al-Bait: The Mystery of the History of the Kaaba and its Disappearance at the End of Time. Narrated from 'Imran bin Husain RA, he said that Rasulullah SAW said, "Is one of you unable to carry out a deed as big as Mount Uhud every day?"
The companions answered, "O Messenger of Allah, who can do deeds as big as Mount Uhud every day?" The Prophet SAW said, "You are all capable."
They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how?"
He SAW said, "The saying of Subhanallah is greater (the reward) than Mount Uhud, the saying of Laa ilaaha illallah is greater than Mount Uhud, the saying of Alhamdulillah is greater than Mount Uhud, and the saying of Allahu Akbar is greater than Mount Uhud."
Recitation of Dhikr that weighs more than Mount Uhud
The following is the dhikr reading referred to by Rasulullah SAW in the hadith in Arabic, Latin and its meaning.
God willing
Subhan Allah
Meaning: "Glory to Allah."
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ
Laa ilaaha illallah
Meaning: "There is no god but Allah."
اَلْحَمدُلِلَّهِ
Alhamdulillah
Meaning: "Praise be to Allah."
God willing
Allah is the Greatest
Meaning: "Allah is Greatest."
In Sahih Muslim there is also a history which contains the virtues of these four dhikr readings. This history comes from Samurah ibn Jundub RA, he said that Rasulullah SAW once said,
God willing هِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إلا الله، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيْم
Meaning: "The sayings that Allah likes most are four sentences, namely: 'Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar' (Glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is Greatest. It will not harm you with any of which you start)" (HR Muslim, Abu Dawud, and At-Tirmidhi)
Allah Loves Servants Who Praise Him
This recitation of dhikr, which weighs more than Mount Uhud, includes sentences of praise to Allah SWT. Shaykh Abdurrazaq bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr in the book adz-Dzikru wa ad-Du`a` fi Dhau`il Buku wa as-Sunnah (Indonesian edition published by Griya Ilmu) explains, Allah SWT loves praise done by His servants.
Allah SWT also favors His servants who eat something and praise Him and those who drink and praise Him. According to Shaykh Abdurrazaq bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr, Allah SWT blessed His servants with this praise as a form of gratitude for His gift. Although basically all of this is a gift that comes from Allah SWT.

- Rasulullah SAW pernah mengajarkan bacaan dzikir yang memiliki keutamaan besar. Dzikir ini berat timbangannya melebihi Gunung Uhud.
Gunung Uhud adalah gunung yang terletak di sebelah utara Madinah. Gunung ini memiliki kedudukan tersendiri dalam Islam. Daerah ini menjadi terkenal setelah Perang Uhud era Rasulullah SAW. Dalam buku Tapak Sejarah Seputar Mekah-Madinah karya Muslim Nasution terdapat sejumlah riwayat yang menyebut tentang keistimewaan Gunung Uhud. Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Gunung Uhud adalah gunung yang mencintai kita dan kita pun mencintainya." (HR Bukhari, Ahmad, dan Thabrani)

Dalam riwayat lain, Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Gunung Uhud adalah salah satu gunung surga." (HR Baihaqi)
Menurut sebuah riwayat, Uhud artinya 'satu'. Dinamakan demikian karena Gunung Uhud menyatukan gunung-gunung kecil yang ada di sekelilingnya, sehingga gunung itu merupakan satu kesatuan (uhud) dari beberapa gunung.
Rasulullah SAW beberapa kali menyebut Gunung Uhud dalam sabdanya untuk memberikan perumpamaan beratnya timbangan amal perbuatan. Salah satunya saat Rasulullah SAW mengajarkan bacaan dzikir kepada para sahabat yang apabila ditimbang berat pahalanya melebihi Gunung Uhud.
Hal tersebut diterangkan dalam riwayat yang termuat dalam kitab Sunan An-Nasa'i dan Musnad Al-Bazzar. Hadits ini turut dinukil Brilly El-Rasheed dalam buku Al-Bait: Misteri Sejarah Ka'bah dan Hilangnya di Akhir Zaman.
Diriwayatkan dari 'Imran bin Husain RA, ia mengatakan bahwa Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Apakah seseorang di antara kalian setiap hari tidak mampu mengamalkan suatu amalan sebesar Gunung Uhud?"
Para sahabat menjawab, "Ya Rasulullah, siapa yang mampu melakukan amalan sebesar Gunung Uhud setiap hari?"
Nabi SAW bersabda, "Kalian semua mampu."
Mereka bertanya, "Ya Rasulullah, bagaimana caranya?"
Beliau SAW bersabda, "Ucapan Subhanallah lebih besar (pahalanya) daripada Gunung Uhud, ucapan Laa ilaaha illallah lebih besar daripada Gunung Uhud, ucapan Alhamdulillah lebih besar daripada Gunung Uhud, dan ucapan Allahu Akbar lebih besar daripada Gunung Uhud."
Bacaan Dzikir yang Beratnya Melebihi Gunung Uhud
Berikut bacaan dzikir yang dimaksud Rasulullah SAW dalam hadits tersebut tulisan Arab, latin, dan artinya.
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ
Subhanallah
Artinya: "Maha Suci Allah."
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ
Laa ilaaha illallah
Artinya: "Tidak ada Tuhan selain Allah."
اَلْحَمْدُلِلَّهِ
Alhamdulillah
Artinya: "Segala puji bagi Allah."
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
Allahu Akbar
Artinya: "Allah Maha Besar."
Dalam Shahih Muslim juga terdapat riwayat yang berisi keutamaan empat bacaan dzikir tersebut. Riwayat ini berasal dari Samurah ibnu Jundub RA, ia mengatakan bahwa Rasulullah SAW pernah bersabda,
أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَرْبَع: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إلا الله، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا يَضُرُّكَ بِأَيْهِنَّ بَدَأْتَ
Artinya: "Ucapan yang paling disukai Allah ada empat kalimat, yaitu: 'Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wala ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar' (Maha Suci Allah, segala puji bagi Allah, tidak ada Tuhan selain Allah, Allah Maha Besar. Tidak membahayakanmu dengan yang mana pun di antaranya kamu memulainya)" (HR Muslim, Abu Dawud, dan At-Tirmidzi)
Allah Menyukai Hamba yang Memuji-Nya
Bacaan dzikir yang berat timbangannya melebihi Gunung Uhud ini termasuk kalimat pujian kepada Allah SWT. Syaikh Abdurrazaq bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr dalam kitab adz-Dzikru wa ad-Du`a` fi Dhau`il Kitab wa as-Sunnah (edisi Indonesia terbitan Griya Ilmu) menjelaskan, Allah SWT menyukai puji-pujian yang dilakukan oleh hamba-Nya.
Allah SWT juga meridai hamba-Nya yang makan sesuatu lalu memuji-Nya dan yang minum minuman lalu memuji-Nya. Menurut Syaikh Abdurrazaq bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr, Allah SWT meridai hamba-Nya dari sanjungan tersebut sebagai wujud kesyukuran atas pemberian-Nya. Meskipun pada dasarnya semua itu merupakan anugerah yang berasal dari Allah SWT.
