Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: One day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer. When he raised his head from ruku' (bowing), he said 'Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah' (Allah hears the one who praises Him). A person behind him said these words: "O our Lord, to You alone belongs praise, abundant, pure and blessed." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he asked three times: "Who was the one who spoke just now?" A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, it was I." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, I saw more than thirty angels rushing towards these words, (competing) as to which of them would record them first."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, al-Yasa' bin Talhah, and he is munkar al-hadith (his narrations are rejected).
