حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ
قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ عِنْدَ بَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُعْطِيهِ وَضُوءَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: «سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، وَأَسْمَعُهُ الْهَوِيَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
Rabia ibn Kab related, “I used to spend the night at the door of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I would give him his wudu water.” He said, “After a long period of the night had passed, I heard him say, ‘Allah hears whoever praises Him,’ and I heard him say after a long period of the night had passed, ‘Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.’”
