Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 12, Hadith 21

‘Asim bin Humaid said: “I heard ‘Awf bin Malik say: ‘I prayed Qiyam with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night, and when he bowed, he stayed as long as it takes to recite Surat Al-Baqarah, saying: “Subhana Dhil-jabaruti wal-malakuti wal-kibriya’ wal-‘azamah (Glory be to the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might).”

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، – يَعْنِي النَّسَائِيَّ – قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، – يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ – عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ، – وَهُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ – قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَوْفَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ مَكَثَ قَدْرَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ ‏
“‏ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَبَرُوتِ وَالْمَلَكُوتِ وَالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 12, Hadith 21

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i, a master of hadith sciences, gifted the Muslim world with his seminal work, the Sunan an-Nasa’i, in the 9th century. This compilation is rightfully counted among the Kutub al-Sittah, the six books that are essential for any serious study of Sunni Islam. The text itself contains a vast repository of more than 5,700 hadiths, all focused on the documented words and deeds of the Prophet. The compiler’s renowned rigorous methodology ensured that only the most authentic reports were included, with weak or spurious narrations being systematically excluded. This scrupulous approach has earned the collection widespread acclaim as a model of authenticity.
