قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ عِنْدَ بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُعْطِيهِ وَضُوءَهُ فَأَسْمَعُهُ بَعْدَ هَوِيٍّ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَالْهَوِيِّ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
English Translation
He said: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim told us: Hisham al-Dastuwa'i told us: Yahya ibn Abi Kathir told us, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Rabi'ah ibn Ka'b al-Aslami, who said: I used to spend the night at the door of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, giving him his water for ablution. I would hear him, after a long part of the night, saying Allah hears the one who praises Him, and for a long part of the night saying Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
