“Sami’a-l-lahu Liman hamida.” A man behind him said, “Rabbana walaka-l hamd hamdan Kathiran
taiyiban mubarakan fihi” (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises).
When the Prophet completed the prayer, he asked, “Who has said these words?” The man replied, “I.”

and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.
