Bayhaqi 2681 — Remembrance in prostration

In this chapter the hadith of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has already passed, which Imam Muslim bin al-Hajjaj (may Allah have mercy on him) recorded in his book.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say in his bowing: 'Subhana rabbiyal-'azim' (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), repeating this glorification again and again. Then, when he raised his head from bowing, he would say: 'Sami'Allahu liman hamidah, rabbana wa lakal-hamd' (Allah has heard the one who praised Him. O our Lord, to You alone belongs all praise). When he prostrated, he would say: 'Subhana rabbiyal-a'la' (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), repeating this phrase again and again as well, and on raising his head from prostration he would recite this supplication: 'Rabbighfir li' (O Allah, forgive me).
