[Machine] A man was with the Prophet of Allah ﷺ praising Allah abundantly and beautifully. So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who is the owner of these words?" The man remained silent and thought that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ disapproved of something he disliked. Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is it? As he did not say anything except the truth." The man said, "I said it, O Messenger of Allah, hoping for goodness through it." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, I saw thirteen angels competing to raise your words to Allah, the Most High and Blessed."

رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْكَلِمَةِ؟» فَسَكَتَ الرَّجُلُ وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ هُجِمَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى شَيْءٍ كَرِهَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ هُوَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ إِلَّا صَوَابًا» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا قُلْتُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْجُو بِهَا الْخَيْرَ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَ كَلِمَتَكَ أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى»

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.' "

One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head after bowing, he said: Allah listened to him who praised Him. A man behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, Our Lord, and to Thee be praise, much praise, good and blessed. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked: Which of you if the one who spoke (the words) just now. The man said: I (uttered) these words, Prophet of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I saw more than thirty angels racing against one another to be the one to write them first. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 770)

"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".
