What to say when raising the head from bowing and when standing upright

Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman informed me that he heard Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for prayer, he said the takbir, then he said the takbir when bowing, then he said 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him), and when he had straightened his back from bowing he said 'Rabbana wa lakal-hamd' (Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise). Then he mentioned the complete hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he raised his hands up to his shoulders, and when he raised his blessed head from bowing he raised his hands in the same way, and he said: 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah, rabbana wa lakal-hamd' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him; our Lord, and to You belongs all praise). But he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do this (raising the hands) in the prostrations.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing, he said: 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah, rabbana lakal-hamd mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'a ma baynahuma wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him; our Lord, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth and filling what is between them, and filling whatever else You will thereafter).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing, he said: 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah, Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him; O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth, and filling whatever else You will thereafter).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing, he would say 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him), then he said: 'Rabbana lakal-hamd mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd' (Our Lord, to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth, and filling whatever else You will thereafter).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed head from bowing, he would say: 'Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'a ma baynahuma wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd, ahlath-thana'i wal-majd, la mani'a lima a'tayta wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd' (O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs praise, filling the heavens and the earth and the space between them, and filling whatever else You will thereafter; all praise belongs to You. O You who are worthy of praise and glory, none can withhold what You give, none can give what You withhold, and the greatness of one possessed of greatness is of no benefit to him before You).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah', he would say: "O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs praise, such as fills the heavens and fills the earth and fills whatever else You will thereafter. O You who are worthy of praise and glory, the truest thing Your servant has said is that we are all Your servants. None can withhold what You give, and the greatness of one possessed of greatness is of no benefit to him before You."
(b) The same words are also reported through another chain, except that in it: when he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing he would say 'Rabbana lakal-hamd' (Our Lord, to You belongs all praise), and it also has the addition that he would also recite 'Wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta' (and none can give what You withhold).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa'ah bin Rafi' al-Zuraqi (may Allah be pleased with him): One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from bowing and said 'Sami'allahu liman hamidah', a man behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Rabbana wa lakal-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih' (Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise, abundant, pure and blessed praise). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the salam, he asked: "Who was the one who said these words?" The man said: O Messenger of Allah, it was I. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw more than thirty angels racing one another (to record its reward), each wanting to be the first to write it down."

(a) Mu'adh bin Rifa'ah al-Ansari narrates from his father Rifa'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he prayed the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). During the prayer he sneezed and said: 'Alhamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi, mubarakan alayhi kama yuhibbu rabbuna wa yarda' (All praise belongs to Allah, abundant, pure and blessed praise, such as our Lord loves). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished leading the prayer, he asked: "Who was the one who spoke during the prayer?" Rifa'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I became frightened by his (peace and blessings be upon him) asking this, and I wished that, rather than having attended that prayer, a large part of my wealth had been lost, for I would not have regretted that as much as speaking in the prayer. Anyway, I said: O Messenger of Allah, it was I. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What words did you say?" I said: 'Alhamdu lillahi hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi kama yuhibbu rabbuna wa yarda' (All praise belongs to Allah, abundant, pure and blessed praise, such as our Lord loves and is pleased with). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, more than thirty angels were racing one another to ascend with its reward."
(b) It is reported from Amir bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a young man of the Ansar sneezed during the prayer and said such-and-such; then he mentioned a similar hadith.
