٣۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ

3.154 [Machine] The opening with glorification and praise to You, O Allah

٣۔١٥٤ بَابُ الِاسْتِفْتَاحِ بِسُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ

bayhaqi:2347Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad al-Dūrī > Ṭalq b. Ghannām > ʿAbd al-Salām b. Ḥarb al-Mulāʾī > Budayl b. Maysarah > Abū al-Jawzāʾ > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would begin the prayer, he would say: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise. Blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty. There is no deity except You." Abu Ali al-Roudbari narrated to us, Abu Bakr ibn Dasa said, Abu Dawud al-Sajistani said, "This hadith is not well-known from Abd al-Salam ibn Harb, and it is only narrated by Talq ibn Ghannam, and he did not mention anything from it. Al-Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, it was narrated from another weak source from Aisha."  

البيهقي:٢٣٤٧أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ ثنا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ثنا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمُلَائِيُّ عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ السِّجِسْتَانِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِالْمَشْهُورِ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ لَمْ يَرْوِهِ إِلَّا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ وَقَدْ رَوَى قِصَّةَ الصَّلَاةِ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ رُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ  

bayhaqi:2348ʿAlī b. Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Bishrān And ʾAbū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan al-Ghaḍāʾirī > Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. ʿAmr al-Razzāz > Saʿdān b. Naṣr > Abū Muʿāwiyah > Ḥārithah b. Muḥammad > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah Qālt Kān

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to start the prayer by raising his hands parallel to his shoulders and saying, "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. Blessed is Your name and exalted is Your Majesty. There is no deity worthy of worship except You." We only recorded this narration from Harithah ibn Abi Rijal, who is considered weak, and it is also narrated in the narration of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri.  

البيهقي:٢٣٤٨أَخْبَرَنَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْغَضَائِرِيُّ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ ثنا سَعْدَانُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ وَهَذَا لَمْ نَكْتُبْهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَرُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ؓ  

bayhaqi:2349Abū Naṣr ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah from Aṣl Kitābih > Abū ʿAlī Ḥāmid b. Muḥammad al-Raffāʾ > Muḥammad b. Shādhān > Zakariyyā / Ibn ʿAdī > Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān > ʿAlī b. ʿAlī > Abū al-Mutawakkil > Abū Saʿīd > Kān

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to say the following invocation when he rose from sleep at night to start the prayer: "How perfect You are, O Allah, and with Your praise, blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty. There is no god but You." He then said three times, "There is no god but Allah, there is no god but Allah, there is no god but Allah." He then proclaimed three times, "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest." He sought refuge with Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Satan and from its whisperings, breath, and blowing. Ja'far said, "Its whisperings are death, its breath is poetry, and its blowing is arrogance." Abu Ali Ar-Rudhbary informed us that Abu Bakr bin Dasa reported that Abu Dawud said, "This narration is said to be from Ali bin Ali, from Al-Hasan, with the attribution being uncertain." The sheikh (i.e., Abu Dawud) may Allah have mercy on him, said, "Another narration about the supplication of 'Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika' has been reported from Laith from Abu 'Ubaydah bin 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, as a Marfu' Hadith, but it is not strong. And another narration has been reported from another chain of narrators from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). The most authentic narration in this regard is that it is a Mawquf Athar (i.e., a statement of a companion) on Umar bin Al-Khattab."  

البيهقي:٢٣٤٩أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو نَصْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ أنبأ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ حَامِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّفَّاءُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ ثنا زَكَرِيَّا وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ هَلَّلَ ثَلَاثًا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ هَمْزُهُ الْمُوتَةُ وَنَفْثُهُ الشِّعْرُ وَنَفْخُهُ الْكِبْرُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يَقُولُونَ هُوَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْوَهْمُ مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَرُوِيَ فِي الِاسْتِفْتَاحِ بِسُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ حَدِيثٌ آخَرُ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَرْفُوعًا وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مَرْفُوعًا عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأَصَحُّ مَا رُوِيَ فِيهِ الْأَثَرُ الْمَوْقُوفُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ  

bayhaqi:2350Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > al-Ḥasan b. Mukram > Yazīd / Ibn Hārūn > Shuʿbah > al-Ḥakam > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb Ḥīn Āftataḥ al-Ṣalāh Kabbar Thum

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began his prayer, he said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah," and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name, and Exalted is Thy greatness, sand there is no god but Allah." Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not well known from 'Abd al-Salam b. Harb. No one narrated this except Talq b. Ghannam. A group of narrators reported the description of prayer from (the narrator) Budail; they did not mention therein this supplication. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 776)   

البيهقي:٢٣٥٠أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ثنا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هَارُونَ أنبأ شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ

سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ
