صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ فَقَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى

ahmad:23240Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān / al-Aʿmash > Saʿd b. ʿUbaydah > al-Mustawrid > Ṣilah > Ḥudhayfah

I prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he used to say in his rukūʿ: ‘I glorify the perfection of Allah, the Supreme’ and his sajdah: ‘I glorify the perfection of Allah, the Most High’. He never came to an āyah of mercy except that he paused at it and asked ˹for Allah’s Mercy˺, nor he came to an āyah of punishment except that he sought the refuge ˹in Allah˺ from it.
