804. It was narrated that Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to start his prayer by saying: 'Subhānaka Allāhumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabārakas-muka, wa ta'āla jadduka, wa lā ilāha ghairuka (Glory and praise be to You, O Allāh, blessed be Your Name and exalted be Your majesty, none has the right to be worshipped but you).” (Hasan)

Arabic text

804 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَسْتَفْتِحُ صَلَاتَهُ يَقُولُ: «سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ»

Commentary

Several variations of supplication are reported to have been recited from time to time by the Prophet ﷺ, after saying the introductory Takbir (Allāhu Akbar) for the prayer. We are free to recite any of these. It is, however, preferable to vary our supplications off and on.
