أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ وَقَتَادَةَ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا إِذْ جَائَ رَجُلٌ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ حَفَزَهُ النَّفَسُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَکْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا کَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَکًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ أَيُّکُمْ الَّذِي تَکَلَّمَ بِکَلِمَاتٍ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ بَأْسًا قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْتُ وَقَدْ حَفَزَنِي النَّفَسُ فَقُلْتُهَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَلَکًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 905
It was narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was leading us in prayer when a man came and entered the Masjid, and he was out of breath. He said:(Allah is Most Great, praise be to Allah, much good and blessed praise.).’ When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم had finished his prayer he said: ‘Which of you is the one who spoke these words?’ The people kept quiet. He said: ‘He did not say anything bad.’ The man said: ‘I did, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. I came and I was out of breath, and I said it.’ The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘I saw twelve angels rushing to see which of them would take it up.” (Sahih)
