One day we were praying behind the Prophet. When he raised his head from bowing, he said, "Samiʿa l-lahu liman hamidah." A man behind him said, "Rabbana wa laka l-hamdu, hamdan kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi" (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer, he asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I." The Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it first." Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.

كُنَّا يَوْمًا نُصَلِّي وَرَاءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَرَاءَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ قَالَ أَنَا قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بِضْعَةً وَثَلاَثِينَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَكْتُبُهَا أَوَّلُ

"We were praying behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day and when he raised his head from bowing he said: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him).' A man behind him said: 'Rabbana wa lakal-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih. (O our Lord, and to You be praise, much blessed and pure praise.)' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished, he said: "Who is the one who spoke just now?" The man said: 'I did, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I saw thirty-some angels rushing to see which of them would write it down first.'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I saw more than thirty angels racing against one another to be the one to write them first.

Malik related to me from Nuaym ibn Abdullah ibn al-Mujmir from AIi ibn Yahya az-Zuraqi from his father that Rifaa ibn Rafi said, "One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from ruku and said, 'Allah hears the one who praises Him' (Sami Allahu liman hamidah). A man behind him said, 'Our Lord, praise belongs to you - blessed, pure and abundant praise' (Rabbana wa laka'l hamd, hamdan kathiran tayiban mubarakan fihi). When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished, he said, 'Who was it who spoke just now?' The man said, 'I did, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I saw more than thirty angels rushing to it to see which one of them would record it first.' "

"قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ : الْحَمْدُ لله كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْكَلِمَةِ؟ فَسَكَتَ الرَّجُلُ وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ هَجَمَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى شَىْء كَرِهَهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَنْ هُوَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ إِلاَّ صَوَابًا، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَنَا قُلْتُهًا يَارَسُولَ اللهِ! أَرْجُو بِهَا الْخَيْرَ، قَالَ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ ثَلاَثةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِروُنَ كَلِمَتَكَ أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى اللهِ".

"مَنْ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ آنفًا؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيتُ بضْعَةً وَثَلاثينَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَكْتُبُهَا أَوَّلُ".
