It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: “I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) one night. He started to recite Al-Baqarah and I thought, ‘he will bow when he reaches one hundred,’ but he carried on. I thought, ‘he is going to recite the whole surah in one rak’ah,’ but he carried on. He started to recite An-Nisa’ and recited (the whole surah), then he started to recite Al Imran and recited (the whole surah), reciting slowly. When he reached a verse that spoke of glorifying Allah (SWT), he glorified Him. When he reached a verse that spoke of supplication, he made supplication. When he reached a verse that spoke of seeking refuge with Allah, he sought refuge with Him. Then he bowed and said: ‘Subhana Rabbiyal-Azim.(Glory be to my Lord Almighty)’, and he bowed for almost as long as he had stood. Then he raised his head and said: ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)’, and he stood for almost as long as he had bowed. Then he prostrated and started to say: Subhana Rabbiyal-‘Ala (Glory be to my Lord Most High),’ and he prostrated for almost as long as he had bowed.'”
Hadith In Arabic Text :
أخبرنا الحسين بن منصور، قال حدثنا عبد الله بن نمير، قال حدثنا الأعمش، عن سعد بن عبيدة، عن المستورد بن الأحنف، عن صلة بن زفر، عن حذيفة، قال صليت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ليلة فافتتح البقرة فقلت يركع عند المائة فمضى فقلت يركع عند المائتين فمضى فقلت يصلي بها في ركعة فمضى فافتتح النساء فقرأها ثم افتتح آل عمران فقرأها يقرأ مترسلا إذا مر بآية فيها تسبيح سبح وإذا مر بسؤال سأل وإذا مر بتعوذ تعوذ ثم ركع فقال ” سبحان ربي العظيم ” . فكان ركوعه نحوا من قيامه ثم رفع رأسه فقال ” سمع الله لمن حمده ” . فكان قيامه قريبا من ركوعه ثم سجد فجعل يقول ” سبحان ربي الأعلى ” . فكان سجوده قريبا من ركوعه .
