Praises Which the Angels Race to Take Up
Hadith
Anas b. Malik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said: “I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ in a gathering when a man came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ saying:’Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah.’ The Prophet ﷺ replied: ‘Wa alaykumus salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh’. When the man sat, he said [the above]. The Prophet ﷺ asked: ‘What did you say?’ He then repeated what he said. The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, ten angels hastened in eagerness to write it (its reward). But they did not know how to write it until they took it up to the All Mighty. Then He said: ‘Write it as my servant said it”.
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيْرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيْهِ ، كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَيَنْبَغِيْ لَهُ.
Translation:
All praise is for Allah; praise which is abundant, pure, blessed and perpetual, as our Lord loves to be praised and is appropiate for Him.
