أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا کَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ قَالَ آمِينَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ قَالَ فَسَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا کَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَکًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ مَنْ صَاحِبُ الْکَلِمَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَرَدْتُ بِهَا بَأْسًا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ ابْتَدَرَهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلَکًا فَمَا نَهْنَهَهَا شَيْئٌ دُونَ الْعَرْشِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 937
It was narrated from ‘Abdul Jabbar bin Wa’il that his father said: “I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and when he said the Takbir he raised his hands to the bottom of his ears. When he recited: Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray), he said: ‘Amin,’ and I could hear him although I was behind him. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم heard a man saying:(Praise be to Allah, much good and blessed praise.)’ When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said the Salam and finished his prayer, he said: ‘Who spoke those words during the prayer?’ The man said: ‘I did, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, but I did not mean anything bad thereby.’ The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Twelve angels hastened (to take it) and nothing is stopping it going all the way to the Throne.” (Sahih)
