878. It was narrated that Ibn Abu Awfa said: "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ raised his head from Ruku', he said: 'Sami' Allāhu liman hamidah, Allāhumma, Rabbanā lakal-hamd, mil' as-samawāti wa mil' al-ard wa mil' ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd (Allāh hears those who praise Him. O Allāh! O our Lord, to You is the praise as much as fills the heavens, as much as fills the earth and as much as You will after that).'" (Sahih)
878 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءَ السَّمَوَاتِ، وَمِلْءَ الْأَرْضِ، وَمِلْءَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ»

The main purpose of prayer is the remembrance of Allāh, who Himself has said in the Qur'ān: "Perform the prayer for My remembrance." (20:14). That is the reason why the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ has taught us many recitals of Allāh's praise and remembrance. We must memorize these texts and recite them in our prayer. We should especially try to win more and more reward, as well as closeness to Allāh and His pleasure, by reciting longer invocations in the optional night (Tahajjud) prayers.
