887. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "While we were praying with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, a man among the people said: 'Allâhu Akbaru kabîra, wal-ḥamdu Lillâhi kathîra, wa subḥân-Allâhi bukratan wa aṣîla (Allâh is Most Great and much praise be to Allâh and glorified be Allâh at the beginning and end of the day).' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Who is the one who said such and such?' A man among the people said: 'I did, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'I like it,' and he said words to the effect that the gates of the Heavens had been opened for it." Ibn 'Umar said: "I never stopped saying it since I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say that.” (Sahîh)
