حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْسٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثًا ذُو الْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ فَقَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ، سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَكَانَ قِيَامُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ رُكُوعِهِ ، يَقُولُ : لِرَبِّيَ الْحَمْدُ ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ ، وَكَانَ يَقْعُدُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ نَحْوًا مِنْ سُجُودِهِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَرَأَ فِيهِنَّ الْبَقَرَةَ ، وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ ، وَالنِّسَاءَ ، وَالْمَائِدَةَ ، أَوْ الْأَنْعَامَ " ، شَكَّ شُعْبَةُ " .
Narrated Hudhayfah: Hudhayfah saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying at night. He said: Allah is most great" three times, "Possessor of kingdom, grandeur, greatness and majesty. " He then began (his prayer) and recited Surah al-Baqarah; then he bowed and he paused in bowing as long as he stood up; he said while bowing, "Glory be to my mighty Lord, " "Glory be to my mighty Lord" ; then he raised his head, after bowing: then he stood up and he paused as long as he paused in bowing and said, "Praise be to my Lord" ; then he prostrated and paused in prostration as long as he paused in the standing position; he said while prostrating: "Glory be to my most high Lord"; then he raised his head after prostration, and sat as long as he prostrated, and said while sitting: "O my Lord forgive me. " He offered four rak'ahs of prayer and recited in them Surah al-Baqarah, Aal Imran, an-Nisa, al-Ma'idah, or al-An'am. The narrator Shubah doubted.

Explanation & Benefits
Nasai — Hadith 1009
´It was narrated from Hudhaifah that:` He prayed beside the Prophet (ﷺ) one night. He recited, and when he came to a verse that mentioned punishment, he would pause and seek refuge with Allah; if he came to a verse that mentioned mercy, he would pause for mercy. In his bowing he would say: 'Subhana Rabbil-Azim (Glory be to my Lord Almighty)' and in his prostration he would say: 'Subhan Rabbil-A'la (Glory be to my Lord the Most High).'"
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1009. Commentary: While reciting the Noble Qur’an, a person should be in a state of absorption such that every word of the Qur’an affects him. A person who recites in this state will inevitably do exactly what has been described as the practice of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). How can it be that he passes by a verse of mercy and does not seek mercy, or reads a mention of punishment and does not request protection from punishment? It is essential that the Qur’an has an effect. To restrict this state only to voluntary (nafl) prayers is an excess on the part of the Hanafis. Is humility and submissiveness (khushu‘, khudu‘) prohibited in obligatory (fard) prayers? Certainly not—rather, it is even more required than in the voluntary prayers. Therefore, in the obligatory prayers as well, when reciting a verse of punishment or mercy, seeking refuge from punishment and beseeching for mercy is a commendable act.

Nasai — Hadith 1146
´A man from (the tribe of) 'Abs narrated from Hudhaifah that:` He came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and stood by his side, and he said: "Allahu Akbar Dhul-malakut wal-jabarut wal-kibriya' wal 'azamah (Allah is Most Great, the One Who has all sovereignty, power, magnificence, and might.)" Then he recited Al-Baqarah, then he bowed, and his bowing lasted almost as long as his standing, and he said when bowing: 'Subahana Rabbial-'azim, Subhana Rabbial-'azim (Glory be to my Lord Almighty, Glory be to my Lord Almighty)." When he raised his head he said: "Li Rabbial-hamd, Li Rabbial-hamd (To my Lord be praise, to my Lord be praise)." And when he prostrated he said: "Subahana Rabbial-A'la, Subahna Rabbial-A'la (Glory be to my Lord Most High, glory be to my Lord Most High)." And between the two prostrations he would say: "Rabbighfirli, Rabbighfirli (Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me)."
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1146. Commentary: Reciting "Rabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li" between the two prostrations is also correct; in fact, in terms of chain of narration, this is stronger than the commonly known supplication. And Allah knows best.

Ibn Majah — Hadith 1351
It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed, and when he recited a Verse which mentioned mercy, he would ask for mercy; when he recited a Verse that mentioned punishment he would pray for deliverance from it; and when he recited a Verse that mentioned the Tanzih of Allah, he would glorify Him.
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊ The recitation of the Qur’an should be done with utmost reflection and contemplation, whether during prayer or outside of it.

➋ One of the etiquettes of reciting the Qur’an is that upon verses of mercy, supplication (du‘a) should be made, and upon verses of punishment, seeking refuge (ta‘awwudh) should be done. And this is only possible when one understands the translation and meaning. In our context, during the recitation of the Imam in the mosques, the followers respond aloud to these verses, which is in no way permissible. Therefore, this should be avoided.

➌ The method of glorifying Allah (tasbih) is to say “Subhan Allah” (Glory be to Allah). That is, Allah is pure. Upon a verse of punishment, (اللهم أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ) “O Allah! Save me from the Fire (of punishment),” or any other appropriate supplication may be recited.
