Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَثَابِتٍ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ وَقَدْ حَفَزَهُ النَّفَسُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ أَيُّكُمْ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ بَأْسًا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَلَسْتُ وَقَدْ حَفَزَنِي النَّفَسُ فَقُلْتُهُنَّ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مَلَكًا يَبْتَدِرُونَهَا أَيُّهُمْ يَرْفَعُهَا.
English Translation
Abu Kamil told us, Hammad -- meaning Ibn Salamah -- told us, from Qatadah, Thabit, and Humayd, from Anas ibn Malik, that a man came, breathless from hurrying, and said, "Allah is greatest, praise be to Allah, abundant, goodly, blessed praise." When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his prayer, he said, "Which of you spoke those words? For he said nothing wrong." The man said, "It was I, O Messenger of Allah; I sat down, breathless, and said them." He, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "I saw twelve angels racing to see which of them would carry it up."
