حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَخَلِیْفَۃُ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَیْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، عَنْ أبِيْ مُحَمَّدِ الْحَضْرَ مَيَّ، عَنْ أَبِيْ أَیُّوْبَ اْلَٔا نْصَارِيَّ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ: الْحَمْدُ للہِ حَمْدًا کَثِیًر اطَیَبًا مُبَارَکَافِیْہِ۔فَقَالَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ:((مَنْ صَاحِبْ الْکَلِمۃِ؟)) فَسَکَتَ ، وَرَأَی أَنَہُ ھَجَمَ مَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَی شَيْ ءِ کَرِھَہُ، فَقَالَ: ((مَنْ ھُوَ؟ فَلَمْ یَقُلْ إِلَّا صَوَابًا)) فَقَالَ رَجُلَ: أَنَا، أَرْجُوْبِھَا الْخَیْرَ، فَقَالَ: ((وَالَّذِيْ نَفْسِيْ بِیَدِہِ! رَأَیْتُ ثَلَاثَۃَ عَشَرَ مَلَکًا یَبْتَدِرُوْنَ أَیُّھُمْ یَرْفَعُھَا إِلَی اللہِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ))۔
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 691
Abu Ayyub al-Ansari said, "A man said in the presence of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Praise belongs to Allah with blessed and abundant praise.; The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Who said that?' The man was silent, thinking that it was a reprimand from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, for something he disliked. He asked again, 'Who was it? He said nothing incorrect.' The man said, 'I did, and I hope for good by it.' He said, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I saw thirteen angels racing one another to see which of them would take it to Allah Almighty.'"
