These are three separate phrases, presented together for reading. Bukhari 5362 places this remembrance at bedtime. IslamQA cites that narration; Life With Allah links a related narration in Bukhari 3705.
Repetition in the sources
Bukhari 5362 and IslamQA specify glorification thirty-three times, praise thirty-three times, and magnification thirty-four times before sleep. Life With Allah gives the same individual counts.
Optional recall practice adds no prescribed repetitions.
