Hadith 12713

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، وَثَابِتٍ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ ، وَقَدْ حَفَزَهُ النَّفَسُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ ، قَالَ : أَيُّكُمْ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ ؟ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ بَأْسًا " فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، جَلَسْتُ وَقَدْ حَفَزَنِي النَّفَسُ ، فَقُلْتُهُنَّ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the prayer had been established when a man came quickly, his breath was heavy, and upon reaching the row he said, "Alhamdulillah hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan feehi." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he asked, "Who among you spoke?" He had said a good thing. So that man said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I spoke. I was coming quickly and when I reached near the row, I said this phrase." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I saw twelve angels rushing towards it to see who would be the first to raise this phrase."
