Hadith 691
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ وَخَلِيفَةُ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْكَلِمَةِ؟“ فَسَكَتَ ، وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ هَجَمَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ كَرِهَهُ ، فَقَالَ : ”مَنْ هُوَ ؟ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ إِلا صَوَابًا“، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَنَا ، أَرْجُو بِهَا الْخَيْرَ ، فَقَالَ : ”وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، رَأَيْتُ ثَلاثَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he said that a man said (in prayer) in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "All praise is for Allah alone, such praise that is very pure and blessed." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Who is the person who uttered these words?" The man remained silent and thought that perhaps he had suddenly said something which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disliked. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked again: "Who is he? He has indeed spoken rightly." The man said: "I said it, and my intention was also good." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, I saw thirteen angels competing with each other as to who among them would take these words up to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

Benefits and Issues:
➊ This narration is authentic due to other chains and supporting evidences, but the mention of the number of angels is not correct. In the authentic narration, this number is stated as thirty or a little more.
➋ From all the chains, it is understood that this Companion said these words in prayer after "Sami‘ Allahu liman hamidah." And the purpose of the inquiry by the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was to teach the people so that they too would recite these words.
➌ Any action that took place in the presence of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he remained silent about it or affirmed it, then it attains the status of a hadith. This is called a tacit (taqrir) hadith. It is not correct to use this as evidence to justify innovations (bid‘ah). Now, we recite this supplication because the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) affirmed it.
