Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 2411 — What the prayer is opened with
٢٤١١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا وكيع عن ابن عون عن إبراهيم عن علقمة: أنه انطلق إلى عمر، فقالوا له: احفظ لنا ما استطعت، فلما قدم قال: فيما حفظت؛ أنه توضأ مرتين، ونثر مرتين، فلما كبر، أو فلما قام إلى الصلاة قال: سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك، وتبارك اسمك، وتعالى جدك، ولا إله غيرك (١).
Alqamah says: Once I set out to visit Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and our companions said to me: "Remember for us whatever you can." When I returned, I said: Among the things I remembered is that he performed ablution twice and cleaned his nose twice. Then when he said the takbir, or when he stood for the prayer, he said these words: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. Blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god besides You."
