✒ Benefit | A Beautiful Du'ā To Be Recited In Prayer After The Opening Takbeer
وعن أنس : أن رجلا جاء فدخل الصف وقد حفزه النفس فقال : الحمد لله حمدا كثيرا طيبا مباركا فيه فلما قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاته قال : أيكم المتكلم بالكلمات ؟ فأرم القوم . فقال : أيكم المتكلم بالكلمات ؟ فأرم القوم . فقال : أيكم المتكلم بها فإنه لم يقل بأسا فقال رجل : جئت وقد حفزني النفس فقلتها . فقال : لقد رأيت اثني عشر ملكا يبتدرونها أيهم يرفعها.
From Anas Raḍi-Allāhu ‘Anhu who said: “A man came panting and entered the prayer row then recited: ‘Alḥamdulillaahi Ḥamdan Katheeran Ṭayyibam-Mubaarakan Feeh’ (I praise Allāh, an abundant, beautiful, blessed praise.)
So when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked: 'Which one of you uttered those words?’ So the people stayed silent, Then he ﷺ asked (again): 'Which one of you uttered those words?’ So the people stayed silent, Then he ﷺ said: 'Which one of you uttered it? For indeed he didn’t say anything wrong’, so the man said: 'I came and I was having difficulty with my breathing so I uttered (those words), So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'I saw 12 angels racing each other to raise it (to Allāh)’.”
