[Machine] I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , attending to his ablution and his needs. He would then stand up at night and say, "Subhanallah, wa bihamdihi. Subhanallah, wa bihamdihi. Subhanallah, Rabbi wa bihamdihi." Then he would say, "Subhanallah, Rabbil-'Alamin. Subhanallah, Rabbil-'Alamin."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٦٣٢ – أَخْبَرَنِي مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ آتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»

[Machine] I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I would bring him water for ablution and fulfill his needs. He would stand during the night saying, "Glory be to my Lord and with His praise, Glory be to my Lord and with His praise, the Compassionate *." Then he would say, "Glory be to the Lord of all the worlds, Glory be to the Lord of all the worlds, the Compassionate."  

ابن حبّان:٢٥٩٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ وَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوِيَّ *» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الْهَوِيَّ»
