بَابُ مَا يَقُولُ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ بِاللَّيْلِ
Chapter: What to say when waking at night
Hadith 1218
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ عِنْدَ بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُعْطِيهِ وَضُوءَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: ”سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ“، وَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: ”الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rabi’ah bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to spend the night at the door of the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that I could provide him with water, etc., for ablution. I would hear the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah” late into the night, and I would hear him reciting “Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil ‘alamin” for a long time.
