[1814] 203 – (772) It was tii.[,,] (vv)- [AU] narrated that Hudhaifah said: "I prayed with the Prophet j one night, and he started to recite Al- Baqarah and I thought: 'He will bow when he reaches one hundred (verses),' but he carried on. Then I thought that he would finish it in the two Rak'ah, but he carried on. Then I thought he would bow after finishing it, but he started to recite An-Nisâ' and recited it all, then he started to recite Al- 'Imrân and recited it all, reciting with a slow and measured pace. When he reached a verse that spoke of glorifying Allah, he glorified Allah; when he reached a verse that spoke of asking of Him, he asked of Him; when he reached a verse that spoke of seeking refuge with Him, he sought refuge with Him. Then he bowed and started saying: 'Subzâna Rabbi!- 'AzIm (Glory be to my Lord the Almighty).' And his bowing was almost as long as his standing. Then he said: 'Sami'Al!âhu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him).' Then he stood for a long time, almost as long as he had bowed. Then he prostrated and said: 'Subhâna Rabbil-A 'la (Glory be to my Lord Most High),' and his prostration was almost as long as his standing." In the HadIth of JarIr it adds: "And he said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah, rabbana lakal- hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him, our Lord to You be praise)."
