Hadith 886
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْهُذَلِيِّ ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَلْيَقُلْ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى ثَلَاثًا وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ ، عَوْنٌ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you bows, he should say three time,: "Glory be to my mighty Lord, " and when he prostrates, he should say: "Glory be to my most high Lord" three times. This is the minimum number. Abu Dawud said: The chain of this tradition is broken. The narrator 'Awn did not see Abdullah (bin Masud).

886. Commentary:
These tasbihat (words of glorification) are established from authentic ahadith. For example, the hadith of Hudhayfah radi Allahu anhu [871۔ 874]. However, as for the minimum number being three, there is hardly any authentic hadith in this regard; all are weak. Nevertheless, due to the abundance of narrations, they gain some strength. See: [مرعاة المفاتيح حديث 886]
Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, on the basis of multiple chains, has declared as authentic the practical hadith of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam—that is, the narration in which it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam actually said the tasbihat three times. As for those narrations in which there is a command to say the tasbihat three times, he has declared them weak. See: [صفة الصلاة ص 132۔ 135]
Thus, it is as if, through the action of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the affirmation of saying the mentioned tasbihat three times is established.

However, this hadith is strengthened by the narrations of Abu Bakrah, Jubayr ibn Mut'im, and Abu Malik al-Ash'ari radi Allahu anhum. Although there is some criticism regarding each of these narrations, the collective chain of transmissions raises the matter to the level of being suitable for evidence.
Note:
(Awn did not hear directly from Ibn Mas'ud radi Allahu anhu, as the author himself has stated.)
