His father said: "I prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and I sneezed and said: 'Al-hamdu lillahi, hamdan kathiran tayiban mubarakan fih, mubarakan'alaihi, kama yuhibbu rabbuna wa yarda (Praise be to Allah, much good and blessed praise as our Lord loves and is pleased with.)' When he finished praying, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who is the one who spoke during the prayer?' But no one said anything. Then he said it a second time: 'Who is the one who spoke during the prayer?' So Rifa'ah bin Rafi bin Afrah said: 'It was me, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'I said: "Praise be to Allah, much good and blessed praise as our Lord loves and is pleased with.'" The Prophet ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, thirty-odd angels hastened to see which of them would take it up.'"  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَطَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا بِضْعَةٌ وَثَلاَثُونَ مَلَكًا أَيُّهُمْ يَصْعَدُ بِهَا  

I offered prayer behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Rifa'ah sneezed. The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the name Rifa'ah (but he said: I sneezed). So I said: Praise be to Allah, praise much, good and blessed therein, blessed thereupon, as our Lord likes and is pleased. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned and said: Who was the speaker in prayer? He then narrated the rest of the tradition like that of Malik and completed it.  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَطَسَ رِفَاعَةُ لَمْ يَقُلْ قُتَيْبَةُ رِفَاعَةُ فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ وَأَتَمَّ مِنْهُ  

"I prayed behind Messenger of Allah (S). I sneezed and said: Al-Hamdulillah, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, mubarakan alaihi kama yuhibbu Rabbana Wa Yarda (All praise is due to Alah, many good blessed praises, blessings for Him as our Lord loves and is pleased with.) When Messenger of Allah (S) prayed and turned (after finishing) he said: 'Who was the speaker during the Salat?' No one spoke. Then he said it a second time: 'Who was the speaker during the Salat?' But no one spoke. Then he said it a third time: 'Who was the speaker during the Salat?'" So Rifa'ah bin Rafi bin Afra said: "It was I, O Messenger of Allah (S)." He said: "What did you say?" He said: "I said: 'Al-Hamdulillah, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, mubarakan alaihi kama yuhibbu Rabbana Wa Yarda. The Prophet (S) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I saw thirty-some angels competing over which of then would ascend with it."

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ فَعَطَسَ رِفَاعَةُ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» قَالَ رِفَاعَةُ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي غَرِمْتُ غُرَّةً مِنْ مَالِ وَإِنِّي لَمْ أشْهَدْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ حِينَ قَالَ «أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «كَيْفَ قُلْتُ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا بِضْعًا وَثَلَاثُونَ مَلَكًا أَيُّهُمْ يَصْعَدُ بِهَا»  

[Machine] He prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Maghrib prayer, and Rifaa'ah sneezed. He said, "Praise be to Allah, much praise, good and blessed praise. Blessed is He as our Lord loves and is pleased with." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left, he said, "Where is the one who spoke during the prayer?" Rifaa'ah said, "I wish I had missed out on some of my wealth and not witnessed that prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, 'Where is the one who spoke during the prayer?' So I said, 'It was me, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'How did you say it?' I said, 'Praise be to Allah, much praise, good and blessed praise. Blessed is He as our Lord loves and is pleased with.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Him in whose hand is my soul, thirty-two angels hastened to it. Which one of them will ascend with it?" It has been narrated from 'Amir ibn Rabee'ah that a young man from the Ansaar sneezed while in prayer and said something similar, and the meaning of it was mentioned."  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ فَعَطَسَ رِفَاعَةُ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ رِفَاعَةُ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي عَدِمْتُ عِدَّةً مِنْ مَالِي وَلَمْ أَشْهَدْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ حِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا بَضْعَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ مَلَكًا أَيُّهُمْ يَصْعَدُ بِهَا وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ عَطَسَ شَابٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ كَذَا فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ مَعْنَاهُ
