حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِرَجُلٍ کَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَتَشَهَّدُ وَأَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُکَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ النَّارِ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَکَ وَلَا دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 793
Jabir narrated the story of Muadh and said: The prophet ﷺ said to a youth: My nephew, what do you do in prayer? He replied: I recited fatihat al-katab and I ask Allah for paradise and seek his refuge from hell-fire I do not understand well your sound and the sound of Muadh. The prophet ﷺ said: I and Muadh go around both (paradise and Hell-fire), or he said something similar.
