ahmad:12988Bahz > Hammām > Qatādah > Anas

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying and said, "Praise be to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise." When the Prophet ﷺ finished his prayer, he said, "Who among you said such and such?" The people remained silent. He repeated it three times, and a man said, "I said it, and I only intended goodness by it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, twelve angels hastened to write it down, but they did not know how to write it until they asked their Lord. He said, 'Write it as My servant said it.'"

Note: The Arabic phrase "ﷺ " ﷺ has been added after mentioning the name of the Prophet Muhammad to convey the traditional Islamic honor and respect for him.  

أحمد:١٢٩٨٨حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ أَيُّكُمُ الْقَائِلُ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ قَالَ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا قُلْتُهَا وَمَا أَرَدْتُ بِهَا إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلَكًا فَمَا دَرَوْا كَيْفَ يَكْتُبُونَهَا حَتَّى سَأَلُوا رَبَّهُمْ ﷻ؟ قَالَ اكْتُبُوهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ during prayer and said, "Praise be to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed in it."
