He prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and heard him say when he made the opening takbir, "Allah is the Greatest, possessor of might, dominion, majesty, and grandeur."In his bowing he would say, "Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent."When he raised his head from bowing he would say, "To my Lord be praise, to my Lord be praise."In his prostration he would say, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."Between the two prostrations he would say, "My Lord, forgive me. My Lord, forgive me."His standing, his bowing, his pause after raising his head from bowing, his prostration, and his sitting between the two prostrations were all roughly equal in length.
أخبرنا حميد بن مسعدة قال حدثنا يزيد بن زريع قال حدثنا شعبة عن عمرو بن مرة عن أبي حمزة عن رجل من بني عبس
أنه صلى مع رسول الله ﷺ ذات ليلة فسمعه حين كبر قال الله أكبر ذا الجبروت والملكوت والكبرياء والعظمة وكان يقول في ركوعه سبحان ربي العظيم وإذا رفع رأسه من الركوع قال لربي الحمد لربي الحمد وفي سجوده سبحان ربي الأعلى وبين السجدتين ربي اغفر لي ربي اغفر لي وكان قيامه وركوعه وإذا رفع رأسه من الركوع وسجوده وما بين السجدتين قريبا من السواء
