1301. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and a man was standing and praying. When he bowed, prostrated and recited the Tashahhud, he supplicated, and in his supplication he said: 'Allâhumma innî asa'luka bi-anna lakal-ḥamd, lâilâha illâ ant, al-mannânu badî'us-samâwâti wal-ard, yâ dhâl-jalâli wal-ikrâm! Yâ hayyu yâ qayyum! Innî as'aluka. (O Allâh, indeed I ask You since all praise is due to You, there is none worthy of worship but You, the Bestower, the Creator of the heavens and the Earth, O Possessor of majesty and honor, O Ever-living, O Eternal, I ask of You.)' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do you know what he has supplicated with?' They said: 'Allâh and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he called upon Allāh by His greatest name which, if He is called by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives.” (Šahīh)
