Bayhaqi 3687 — Pausing at a verse of mercy, a verse of punishment

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ يَعْنِي الْأَعْمَشَ: أَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا مَرَرْتُ بِآيَةِ تَخَوُّفٍ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ مُسْتَوْرِدٍ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ: " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ " وَفِي سُجُودِهِ: " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى " وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَسَأَلَ وَلَا بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَتَعَوَّذَ ".
Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I asked Sulayman al-A'mash (may Allah have mercy on him): When I recite a verse of warning during the prayer, may I make supplication? He narrated a hadith to me with this chain:
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: We prayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In his bowing he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say 'Subhana rabbiya al-'azim' (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent) and in his prostrations 'Subhana rabbiya al-a'la' (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). Whenever he came to a verse of mercy he would stop there and ask for mercy, and whenever he came to a verse of punishment he would pause there and seek refuge with Allah from the punishment.
