What one says when looking in the mirror
Majma al-Zawaid 17143 — What one says when looking in the mirror
عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا نَظَرَ فِي الْمِرْآةِ قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَوَّى خَلْقِي ، وَأَحْسَنَ صُورَتِي ، وَزَانَ مِنِّي مَا شَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِي " . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ جِدًّا ، وَقَدْ وَثَّقَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked in the mirror, he would recite:
'Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi sawwa khalqi, wa ahsana surati, wa zana minni ma shana min ghayri'
(All praise belongs to Allah, who has perfected my creation, made my form beautiful, and adorned me in that in which others have defects (He has kept me safe from them).)
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Dawud bin al-Muhabbar, who is extremely da'if (weak), though more than one scholar declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
