وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ الأَحْنَفِ عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَتَحَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ عِنْدَ الْمِائَةِ. ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقُلْتُ يُصَلِّى بِهَا فِى رَكْعَةٍ فَمَضَى فَقُلْتُ يَرْكَعُ بِهَا. ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ النِّسَاءَ فَقَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ افْتَتَحَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ فَقَرَأَهَا يَقْرَأُ مُتَرَسِّلاً إِذَا مَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فِيهَا تَسْبِيحٌ سَبَّحَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِسُؤَالٍ سَأَلَ وَإِذَا مَرَّ بِتَعَوُّذٍ تَعَوَّذَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ « سُبْحَانَ رَبِّىَ الْعَظِيمِ ». فَكَانَ رُكُوعُهُ نَحْوًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ». ثُمَّ قَامَ طَوِيلاً قَرِيبًا مِمَّا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ « سُبْحَانَ رَبِّىَ الأَعْلَى ». فَكَانَ سُجُودُهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ قِيَامِهِ. قَالَ وَفِى حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ فَقَالَ « سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ ».

It was narrated that Hughaifah said: "I prayed with the Prophet (s.a.w) 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-Nisa' and recited it all, then he started to recite Al-'Imran 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: 'Subhana Rabbil-'Azim (Glory be to my Lord the Almighty).' And his bowing was almost as long as his standing. Then he said: 'Sami' Allahu 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: 'Subhana Rabbil-A'Ia (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' Allahu liman hamidah, rabbana lakal-hzamd (Allah hears those who praise Him, our Lord to You be praise)."'
