أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ وَالْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ کَعْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ کُنْتُ أَبِيتُ عِنْدَ حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَکُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الْهَوِيَّ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوِيَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1623
It was narrated that Rabi’ah bin Ka’b Al-Aslami said: “I used to stay overnight at the Prophet’s apartment and I used to hear him when he prayed Qiyam at night saying: ‘Subhan Allahi Rabbi!‘AlAmin (Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds)’ for a long time, then he said: ‘Subhan Allah wa bi hamdih (Glory and praise be to Allah)’ for a long time.”(Sahih)
