حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُجْمِرِ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ هُوَ الَّذِي أُرِيَ النِّدَائَ بِالصَّلَاةِ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَجْلِسِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْکَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَکَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْکَ فَسَکَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّی تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُولُوا فَذَکَرَ مَعْنَی حَدِيثِ کَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّکَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 980
Abu Masud al-Ansari said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us in a meeting of Saad bin Ubadah. Bashir bin Saad said to him: Allah has commanded us to invoke blessings on you, Messenger of Allah. How should we invoke blessings on you? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silence so much so that we wished he would not ask him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Say. He then narrated the tradition like that of Kaab bin Ujrah. This version adds in the end: In the universe, Thou art praiseworthy and glorious.
