871. Shu‘bah said: “I asked Sulaimān whether I should supplicate to Allāh when I recited a Verse inciting fear during the prayer. So he narrated to me from Sa’d bin ‘Ubaidah, from Mustawrid, from Ṣilah bin Zufar that Ḥudhaifah narrated that he prayed with the Prophet ﷺ, and he (the Prophet ﷺ) would say in his Rukū‘: ‘Subhāna rabbil-azīm (Glory is to my Lord, the Most Great)’ and in his prostration: ‘Subhāna rabbil-a'lā (Glory is to my Lord, the Most High),’ And he would not recite a Verse of mercy except that he would pause at it and ask (for mercy), nor would he recite a Verse of punishment except that he would pause and seek refuge (with Allāh).’” (Ṣāḥih)

Arabic text

871 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ: أَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا مَرَرْتُ بِآيَةِ تَخَوُّفٍ، فَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ مُسْتَوْرِدٍ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ: «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ»، وَفِي سُجُودِهِ: «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى»، وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَسَأَلَ، وَلَا بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَتَعَوَّذَ
