English translation

1009. It was narrated from Hudhaifah that he prayed beside the Prophet ﷺ one night. He recited, and when he came to a verse that mentioned punishment, he would pause and seek refuge with Allâh; if he came to a verse that mentioned mercy, he would pause and pray for mercy. In his bowing he would say: 'Subhâna Rabbîl-Azîm (Glory be to my Lord Almighty)' and in his prostration he would say: 'Subhân Rabbîl-A'la (Glory be to my Lord the Most High)." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

1008 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنُ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ الْأَحْنَفِ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً فَقَرَأَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ وَقَفَ وَتَعَوَّذَ، وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ وَقَفَ فَدَعَا، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ: «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ» وَفِي سُجُودِهِ: «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى»

Commentary

While reciting the Qur'an, one should kindle within oneself a deep sense of receptiveness, so that every word of the Qur'an creates an effect upon him. The one who recites it in this manner would definitely emulate the Prophet's excellent practice which is described here.
