He prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the night. When he began the prayer, he said, "Allah is the Greatest, Possessor of dominion, omnipotence, pride, and majesty." Then he recited Surah al-Baqarah, then he bowed, and his bowing was about as long as his standing, and he would say, "Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent." Then he raised his head, and his standing was about as long as his bowing, and he would say, "To my Lord be praise, to my Lord be praise." Then he prostrated, and his prostration was about as long as his standing, and he would say, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, glory be to my Lord, the Most High." Then he raised his head, and the time between the two prostrations was about as long as the prostration itself, and he would say, "My Lord, forgive me, my Lord, forgive me." He continued until he had recited al-Baqarah, Al Imran, an-Nisa, al-Maidah, and al-Anam. It is Shuba who is uncertain about al-Maidah and al-Anam.
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر حدثنا شعبة عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي حمزة رجل من الأنصار عن رجل من بني عبس
أنه صلى مع رسول الله ﷺ من الليل فلما دخل في الصلاة قال الله أكبر ذو الملكوت والجبروت والكبرياء والعظمة قال ثم قرأ البقرة ثم ركع وكان ركوعه نحوا من قيامه وكان يقول سبحان ربي العظيم ثم رفع رأسه فكان قيامه نحوا من ركوعه وكان يقول لربي الحمد لربي الحمد ثم سجد فكان سجوده نحوا من قيامه وكان يقول سبحان ربي الأعلى سبحان ربي الأعلى ثم رفع رأسه فكان ما بين السجدتين نحوا من السجود وكان يقول رب اغفر لي رب اغفر لي قال حتى قرأ البقرة وآل عمران والنساء والمائدة والأنعام شعبة الذي يشك في المائدة والأنعام
