Two phrases weighed against the sky
Cleanliness comes first, and then these.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ أَوْ تَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ
Al-ḥamdu lillāhi tamlaʾu-l-mīzān, wa subḥāna-Llāhi wa-l-ḥamdu lillāhi tamlaʾāni mā bayna-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ
“Praise be to Allah fills the scale. And glory to Allah and praise be to Allah fill what is between the heavens and the earth.”
It goes on: and prayer is a light, and charity is proof, and patience is a radiance.
Where this comes from
It opens: cleanliness is half of faith. Then these two, measured not in reward but in volume, against the scale and then against the whole space between the ground and the sky.
The full narration
Abu Malik Al-Ash`ari narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:“Al-Wudu is half of faith, and All praise is due to Allah (Al-Ḥamdulillāh) fills the Scale, and Glory is to Allah and all praise is to Allah (Subḥān Allāh wal-Ḥamdulillāh)’ fill” - or - “fills what is between the heavens and the earth, and Salat is light and charity is an evidence, and patience is an illumination, and the Quran is a proof for you or against you. And all people shall come to the morning selling their souls, either setting it free or destroying it.”
