English translation

932. It was narrated from Mu'âdh bin Rifâ'ah bin Râfi' that his father said: "I prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and I sneezed and said: 'Al-ḥamdu lillâhi, ḥamdan kathîran tayiban mubâṛakan fîh, mubâṛakan 'alaïhi, kamâ yuhibbu rabbunâ wa yarda (Praise be to Allâh, much good and blessed praise as our Lord loves and is pleased with.)' When he finished praying, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Who is the one who spoke during the prayer?' But no one said anything. Then he said it a second time: 'Who is the one who spoke during the prayer?' So Rifâ'ah bin Râff' bin 'Afrâ' said: 'It was me, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'What did you say?' He said: 'I said: "Praise be to Allâh, much good and blessed praise as our Lord loves and is pleased with." The Prophet ﷺ said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, thirty-odd angels hastened to see which of them would take it up.'" (Hasan)

931 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةُ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِيهِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَطَسْتُ فَقُلْتُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ: «مَنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ أَحَدٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ: «مَنَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَقَالَ رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ رَافِعِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ ابْتَدَرَهَا بِضْعَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ مَلَكًا أَيُّهُمْ يَصْعَدُ بِهَا»

Commentary

It has been argued on the basis of this report that it is permissible to utter Alhamdulillah (Praise is to Allâh) aloud during prayer. And Allâh knows best!
