Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37274 — The words of Ibn Masud
٣٧٢٧٤ - حدثنا حسين بن علي عن زائدة عن عاصم عن شقيق عن عبد اللَّه قال: لا تنفع الصلاة إلا من أطاعها ثم قرأ (عبد اللَّه) (١): ﴿إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَلَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أكبر﴾ [العنكبوت: ٤٥]، فقال عبد اللَّه: ذكر اللَّه العبد أكبر من ذكر العبد لربه (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Prayer benefits only the one who obeys it. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: Indeed, prayer restrains from indecency and evil, and the remembrance of Allah is greater [Al-Ankabut: 45]. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah said: Allah's remembrance of the servant is greater than the servant's remembrance of his Lord.
