770. Rifā'ah bin Rāfi' Az-Zuraqī said: "One day we were praying behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. When he raised his head from the Rukū', he said: 'Samī' Allāhu liman ḥamidah (Allāh hears the one who praises Him).' A man behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Allāumma, rabbanā wa lakal-ḥamdu, ḥamdan kathīran tayyiban mubārakan fīh (O Allāh, our Lord, and to You belongs all praise; plentiful, beautiful and blessed praise).' When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ completed (the prayer), he said: 'Who is the one who said these phrases?' The man replied: 'It was I, O Messenger of Allāh.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I saw over thirty angels racing to see who would be the first to write it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

770 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُجْمِرِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَحْيَى الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنَّا يَوْمًا نُصَلِّي وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ»، قَالَ رَجُلٌ وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِهَا آنِفًا»، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بِضْعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَكْتُبُهَا أَوَّلُ»
