Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2061 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A man said
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : نَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ الدَّقِيقِيُّ ، أَخُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ : نَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : قَالَ رَجُلٌ : الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَثِيرًا ، فَأَعْظَمَهَا الْمَلَكُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَهَا ، وَرَاجَعَ فِيهَا رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : اكْتُبْهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي كَثِيرًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man said: 'Alhamdu lillahi kathira' (All praise is for Allah, abundantly), and the angel considered it a very great matter to record it (because of the vastness of its reward), and he referred back to his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, about it. He was told: 'Write it just as My servant said it, that is, kathira (abundantly).'"
