763. Anas bin Mālik narrated that a person came to pray, and he was short of breath.[1] So he said: "Allāhu Akbaru, al-ḥamdulillāhi ḥamdan kathīran tayyiban mubārakan fih (Allāh is greater (than all things). All praise is due to Allāh; plentiful, beautiful and blessed praise)." When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ completed the prayer, he said: "Who was the one who said these phrases, for he did not say anything wrong." The man replied: "It was I, O Messenger of Allāh. I came while I was short of breath, so I said it." He said: "I saw twelve angels racing with one another (to see) who among them would raise it up (to Allāh first)." Ḥumaid (one of the narrators) added: "And when one of you comes (to the prayer), let him walk just as he was walking (before); then, let him pray what he catches, and let him make up what preceded him." (Sahīh)

763 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَثَابِتٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَقَدْ حَفَزَهُ النَّفَسُ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ، قَالَ: «أَيُّكُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ بَأْسًا» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، جِئْتُ وَقَدْ حَفَزَنِيَ النَّفَسُ فَقُلْتُهَا، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا» وَزَادَ حُمَيْدٌ فِيهِ: «وَإِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَمْشِ نَحْوَ مَا كَانَ يَمْشِي فَلْيُصَلِّ مَا أَدْرَكَهُ وَلْيَقْضِ مَا سَبَقَهُ»
