أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَکِ وَنُصَيْرُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَی بْنِ حَبَّانَ عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ فَقَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ بِيَدِي فَوَقَعَتْ يَدِي عَلَی قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُمَا مَنْصُوبَتَانِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاکَ مِنْ سَخَطِکَ وَبِمُعَافَاتِکَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِکَ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْکَ لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَائً عَلَيْکَ أَنْتَ کَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَی نَفْسِکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 171
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that ‘Aishah said: “I noticed the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was not there one night, so I started looking for him with my hand. My hand touched his feet and they were held upright, and he was prostrating and saying: ‘I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised yourself.” (Sahih)
