Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَفْتِحُ دُعَاءً إِلَّا اسْتَفْتَحَهُ بِسُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى الْعَلِيِّ الْوَهَّابِ.
