1131. It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I noticed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was missing one night and I found him prostrating with the tops of his feet facing toward the Qiblah. I heard him saying: ‘A’ūduhu biridāka min sakhaṭika, wa a’ūduhu bimu’āfatika min uqūbatika wa a’ūduhu bika minka lā uḥṣi thanā’an ‘alaika anta kamā athnaita ‘ala nafṣik (I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath; I seek refuge in Your forgiveness from
Your punishment; I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised Yourself.”) (Sahīh)

Commentary
Indulging in self-praise is blameworthy, because self-praise very often involves exaggeration and arrogance. But in the case of Allāh Most High, all Grandeur and Loftiness, and Pride behoves Him. He, therefore, rightly praises Himself.
