900. It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed that when the Prophet ﷺ started to pray he would say: “Subhanakallâhumma, wa bihamdika tabârakasmuka wa ta'âla jadduka wa lâ ilâha ghairuk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allâh. Blessed be Your name and exalted be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You.)” (Hasan)

Commentary
1. In some routes of this Hadîth too, there is mention of the optional prayers of the night. In other words, like other supplications, this supplication also may be recited both in obligatory and optional prayers.
2. Some Hadīth scholars have commented on the condition of the chains of this narration. But it is worthy of being applied in practice due to its many routes. Besides, it is brief the supplication. The Hanafis have adopted only this supplication on account of its being brief and beautifully-worded, particularly for the obligatory prayers. They consider other reported supplications to be specific to optional prayers. But there is no basis for such a specification. All authentically reported supplications are permitted, regardless of whether one is performing obligatory or optional prayers.
