Is there a hadith stating that reciting Subhanallah wal hamdulillah wa la ilaha illallah wallahu akbar four times can replace the two units of tahiyyatul masjid prayer?

The fatwa states that the clear sunnah is to perform two units of prayer before sitting in the mosque, and sitting down directly without praying is disliked according to most scholars.

Summary
The fatwa states that the clear sunnah is to perform two units of prayer before sitting in the mosque, and sitting down directly without praying is disliked according to most scholars. The four-time dhikr is the view of some Maliki and Shafi'i scholars, but it is not supported by clear evidence from the Prophet's sunnah. Some scholars ruled that attributing such a virtue to it has no basis and is disliked. Following the clear sunnah is more virtuous.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sunnah yang jelas dari Nabi SAW bagi sesiapa yang masuk ke dalam masjid ialah tidak duduk melainkan setelah menunaikan solat dua rakaat terlebih dahulu.
