وحدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير وأبو معاوية وحدثنا زهير بن حرب وإسحق بن إبراهيم جميعا عن جرير كلهم عن الأعمش وحدثنا ابن نمير واللفظ له حدثنا أبي حدثنا الأعمش عن سعد بن عبيدة عن المستورد بن الأحنف عن صلة بن زفر عن حذيفة قال صليت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات ليلة فافتتح البقرة فقلت يركع عند المائة ثم مضى فقلت يصلي بها في ركعة فمضى فقلت يركع بها ثم افتتح النساء فقرأها ثم افتتح آل عمران فقرأها يقرأ مترسلا إذا مر بآية فيها تسبيح سبح وإذا مر بسؤال سأل وإذا مر بتعوذ تعوذ ثم ركع فجعل يقول سبحان ربي العظيم فكان ركوعه نحوا من قيامه ثم قال سمع الله لمن حمده ثم قام طويلا قريبا مما ركع ثم سجد فقال سبحان ربي الأعلى فكان سجوده قريبا من قيامه قال وفي حديث جرير من الزيادة فقال سمع الله لمن حمده ربنا لك الحمد.
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; ‘Abdullah ibn Numayr and Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us; and Zuhayr ibn Harb and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim also narrated to us, all from Jarir, all from al-A‘mash. Ibn Numayr (whose version is given here) said:
My father narrated to us from al-A‘mash, from Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaydah, from al-Mustawrid ibn al-Ahnaf, from Silah ibn Zufar, from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
“I prayed with the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) one night. He began reciting Surah al-Baqarah. I thought he would bow at the one-hundredth verse, but he continued. Then I thought he would complete it in one rak‘ah, and he continued. I thought he would bow when he finished it, but then he began Surah al-Nisa’ and recited it, then he began Surah Aal ‘Imran and recited it.
He recited slowly and distinctly. Whenever he came across a verse of glorification, he glorified Allah; whenever he came across a verse of supplication, he made supplication; and whenever he came across a verse seeking refuge, he sought refuge.
Then he bowed and said:
‘Subhana Rabbiyal-‘Azim (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great).’ His bowing was nearly as long as his standing. Then he said: ‘Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),’ and stood for a long time, almost as long as he had bowed. Then he prostrated and said:
‘Subhana Rabbiyal-A‘la (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High),’ and his prostration was nearly as long as his standing.”
And in the narration of Jarir, there is an additional phrase: “He said:
‘Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana laka al-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; our Lord, to You belongs all praise).’”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 772)
