The duʿāʾ of the Prophet ﷺ when looking at the Kaʿbah

tabarani:3053Muḥammad b. Mūsá al-Ubullī al-Mufassir > ʿUmar b. Yaḥyá al-Ubullī > ʿĀṣim b. Sulaymān al-Kūzī > Zayd b. Aslam > Abū al-Ṭufayl > Ḥudhayfah b. Asīd

that when the Prophet ﷺ used to look at the House (Kaʿbah) he said, "O Allah! Elevate this House in its honor, respect, reverance, hospitality, uprightness, and awe."  

الطبراني:٣٠٥٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأُبُلِّيُّ الْمُفَسِّرُ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأُبُلِّيُّ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكُوزِيُّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ زِدْ بَيْتَكَ هَذَا تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وتَكْرِيمًا وَبِرًّا وَمَهَابَةً۔»
