حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْمُلَائِيُّ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: «سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ»

Ummul Muminin: When the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) began his prayer, he said: “Glory be to Thee, O Allah,” and “Praise be to Thee” and “Blessed is Thy name, and Exalted is Thy greatness, sand there is no god but Allah.”

‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম সালাত আরম্ভকালে এই দু‘আ পড়তেনঃ ‘‘সুবহানাকা আল্লাহুম্মা ওয়া বিহামদিকা ওয়া তাবারাকাসমুকা ওয়া তা‘আলা জাদ্দুকা ওয়া লা ইলাহা গায়রুকা।’’ [1] সহীহ।

ইমাম আবূ দাউদ (রহঃ) বলেন, এই হাদীসটি ‘আবদুস সালাম ইবনু হারব সূত্রে প্রসিদ্ধি নয়। আর এটি কেবল ত্বালক্ব ইবনু গান্নাম বর্ণনা করেছেন। অবশ্য একদল বর্ণনাকারী বুদায়ির সূত্রে সালাতের ঘটনাটি বর্ণনা করেছেন, কিন্তু তারা তাতে এই দু‘আর কিছুই উল্লেখ করেননি।

ام المؤمنین عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب نماز شروع کرتے تو «سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك وتبارك اسمك وتعالى جدك ولا إله غيرك» پڑھتے تھے۔ ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں: عبدالسلام بن حرب سے مروی یہ حدیث مشہور نہیں ہے کیونکہ اسے عبدالسلام سے طلق بن غنام کے علاوہ کسی اور نے روایت نہیں کیا ہے اور نماز کا قصہ بدیل سے ایک جماعت نے روایت کیا ہے مگر ان لوگوں نے اس میں سے کچھ بھی ذکر نہیں کیا ( یعنی: افتتاح کے وقت اس دعا کے پڑھنے کی بابت ) ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Husain bin Isa] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Thalq bin Ghannam] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdussalam bin Harb Al Mula`i] dari [Budail bin Maisarah] dari [Abu Jauza`] dari [Aisyah] dia berkata; Apabila Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam hendak memulai shalat, beliau mengucapkan: "SUBHANAKA ALLAHUMMA WA BIHAMDIKA WA TABARAKAS-MUKA WA TA'ALA JADDUKA WA LA ILAHA GHAIRAKA" (Maha suci Engkau, ya Allah, aku sucikan nema-Mu dengan memuji-Mu, Maha berkah nama-Mu, Maha luhur keluhuran-Mu dan tidak ilah selain Engkau).

Abu Daud berkata: "Hadits ini tidak masyhur (di kenal) dari Abdullah bin Salam bin Harb, dan tidak ada yang meriwayatkan hadits ini kecuali Thalq bin Ghannam, namun dia telah meriwayatkan hadits tentang kisah shalat dari Budair, sedangkan para pakar hadits tidak menyebutkan sedikitpun hadits seperti ini

Aişe (r.anha)'den demiştir ki: Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) namaza başladığı zaman: "Ey Allah'ım! Seni hamdin ile tesbih ve tenzih ederim. İsmin mübarektir, azametin yücedir. ve senden başka ilah yoktur" derdi.

Ebu Davud dedi ki: Bu hadis Abdusselam b. Harb'den (rivayet edilmiş şekliyle) meşhur değildir. Bunu Abdusselam'dan sadece Talk b. cannam rivayet etmiştir. (Resulullah) Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem'in namaz kılma hadisesini Budeyl’den bir cemaat daha nakletmiştir. Fakat onlar (namazda dua’dan hiç bahsetmemişlerdir. Diğer tahric: Müslim, salat Tirmizî, salat; vitir; İbn Mace, ikame, Darimî, salat: Ahmed b. Hanbel IH)

Sunan Abi Dawud 776, Book 2, Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Hadith 386. 1 min read
The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَيْسَ بِالْمَشْهُورِ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ لَمْ يَرْوِهِ إِلاَّ طَلْقُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ وَقَدْ رَوَى قِصَّةَ الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا

Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not well known from Abd al-Salam ibn Harb. No one narrated this except Talq ibn Ghannam. A group of narrators reported the description of prayer from (the narrator) Budail; they did not mention therein this supplication.

What it means

"When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) got up to pray at night, he would make "Takbīr"." In other words, he would begin his prayer with the statement: "Allah is the Greatest." Takbīr is a pillar without which prayer is not valid.

"And then say: 'Glory be to You, O Allah.'" Meaning: I declare You above and free from all shortcomings and imperfections and from all that does not befit You and Your majesty, my Lord. "And praise", meaning: praising Allah and thanking him for this help. In other words: If it were not for Your help and guidance, I would not be glorifying You.

So this is an acknowledgment from the slave of the favors bestowed by his Lord as well as an acknowledgment of his own helplessness without the help of Allah, the Almighty. "Blessed is Your name." Your name is ever abundant, perfect, and broad, and its blessings are widely spreading in the heavens and the earth. This emphasizes that all good lies in the hand of Allah, the Almighty. "Exalted is Your greatness."

Your greatness rises, elevates, and exalts over all greatness; Your sublimity is high above all others; and Your authority subdues all others. The greatness of Allah is far elevated above having a partner in His dominion, His lordship, His divinity, or His names and attributes.

That is why he said thereafter: "There is no god but You", meaning: there is no deity truly worthy of being worshiped except You. You are the Only One deserving to be worshiped, alone without any partner; You, the One Who possesses the most praiseworthy attributes and bestows the most immense favors. In this opening invocation, we praise Allah, the Almighty, and declare Him above and free from all shortcomings and imperfections and from all that does not befit Him and His majesty.

This is one of the various invocations reported in this respect. It is better to say this and that from time to time, thus observing all authentic aspects of the Sunnah and not disregarding any of them. In one of those various wordings, the Prophet would reportedly say: "There is no god but Allah" three times. This statement means: There is no deity truly worthy of being worshiped except You.

In the Qur’an, Allah, the Almighty, says: {That is because Allah is the Truth, and that which they call upon other than Him is falsehood.} {Sūrat al-Hajj: 62] "Thereafter, he would say: 'Allah is the absolute Greatest,' three times." He, Glorified and Exalted, is Greater than all things. Then, after opening his prayer, he would seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Devil, saying: "I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing and All-Knowing."

In other words, I seek the refuge, support, and protection of the All-Hearing and All-Knowing Lord. "From the accursed", meaning: the outcast, rejected, and expelled from the mercy of Allah.

"Devil", meaning: the rebellious and insolent devils from among the Jinn and mankind. O Allah, Do not give him authority whereby he can harm me in my religious and worldly affairs or prevent me from doing such things that will benefit me in my religious and worldly affairs. Whoever seeks refuge in Allah has indeed turned to the might and power of the Creator against their enemies who want to cut them off from their Lord and lead them into the deep pits of evil and destruction. "From his evil suggestions", meaning: madness and epilepsy that afflict mankind.

Since Satan may touch a person with madness, it was prescribed by the Shariah to seek refuge against him. "His blowing", meaning: pride. Through insinuations, Satan blows into a man and prompts him to see himself big and others little. Thus, his pride and arrogance grows. "His spitting", meaning: witchcraft. This is the evil of magicians, who tie the strings and then blow on each knot so as to produce the effect intended by magic. "After that, he would recite." He would recite Qur’an, opening with Sūrat al-Fātihah.
