English translation

3801. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told them: "One of the slaves of Allāh said: 'Yā Rabb! Lakal-hamdu kamā yanbagi li-jalāli Wajhika wa li 'azimi sultānika (O Lord, to You is praise as befits the Glory of Your Face and the greatness of Your Might.)' The angels were uncertain and did not know how to write this down, so they ascended to heaven and said: 'O our Lord, Your slave has said a word that we do not know how to write down.' Allāh said - and He knows best what His slave said - 'What did My slave say?' They said: 'O Lord, he said: "Yâ Rabb! Lakal-hamdu kamâ yanbagi li-jalâli Wajhika wa li'azimi sultânika (O Lord, to You is praise as befits the Glory of Your Face and the greatness of Your Might)."'" Allâh said to them: 'Write it down as My slave said it, until He meets Me and I shall reward him for it.'" (Da'if)

3801 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، مَوْلَى الْعُمَرِيِّينَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قُدَامَةَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجُمَحِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ وَعَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ مُعَصْفَرَانِ، قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَهُمْ: " أَنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَلِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ، فَعَضَّلَتْ بِالْمَلَكَيْنِ، فَلَمْ يَدْرِيَا كَيْفَ يَكْتُبَانِهَا، فَصَعِدَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَقَالَا: يَا رَبَّنَا، إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ قَالَ مَقَالَةً لَا نَدْرِي كَيْفَ نَكْتُبُهَا، قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالَ عَبْدُهُ: مَاذَا قَالَ عَبْدِي؟ قَالَا: يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُمَا: «اكْتُبَاهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي، حَتَّى يَلْقَانِي فَأَجْزِيَهُ بِهَا»
