أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْکِنْدِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَاصِمَ بْنَ حُمَيْدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ يَقُولُ قُمْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَدَأَ فَاسْتَاکَ وَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّی فَبَدَأَ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ مِنْ الْبَقَرَةِ لَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ وَسَأَلَ وَلَا يَمُرُّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ يَتَعَوَّذُ ثُمَّ رَکَعَ فَمَکَثَ رَاکِعًا بِقَدْرِ قِيَامِهِ يَقُولُ فِي رُکُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَکُوتِ وَالْکِبْرِيَائِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ بِقَدْرِ رُکُوعِهِ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَکُوتِ وَالْکِبْرِيَائِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ سُورَةً ثُمَّ سُورَةً فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1137
‘Awf bin Malik said: “I prayed Qiyam with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. He started by using the Siwak and performing Wuduthen he stood and prayed. He started reciting Al Baqarah and he did not come to any verse that spoke of mercy but he paused and asked for mercy, and he did not come to any verse that spoke of punishment but he paused (and sought refuge with Allah from that). Then he bowed and he stayed bowing for as long as he had stood, and he said while bowing: (Glory be to the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might).’ Then he prostrated for as long as he had bowed, saying while prostrating: ‘(Glory be to the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might).’ Then he recited Al ‘Imran, then another Sarah and another, doing that each time.” (Sahih)
