1351. It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Prophet ﷺ prayed, and when he recited a Verse which mentioned mercy, he would ask for mercy; when he recited a Verse that mentioned punishment he would pray for deliverance from it; and when he recited a Verse that mentioned the Tanzih[1] of Allâh, he would glorify Him.[2] (Sahih)
1351 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ الْأَحْنَفِ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «صَلَّى فَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ سَأَلَ، وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ اسْتَجَارَ، وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَنْزِيهٌ لِلَّهِ سَبَّحَ»

To glorify Allâh in words is to say: Subhân-Allâh (Allâh is free from all imperfection and from everything falsely attributed to Him). On reaching the Verse mentioning punishment, we may say: Allâhumma ajirni minan-nâr (O Allâh! Grant me salvation from Hell-fire) or another Verse of the same purport.
