216 – It is related from ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to say:
“Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa bi-ḥamdik, wa tabāraka ismuk, wa taʿālā jadduk, wa lā ilāha illā ghayruk”
(Glorified are You, O Allah, and with Your praise; blessed is Your Name, exalted is Your Majesty, and there is no god but You). Muslim transmitted it with a broken chain, while al-Dāraquṭnī recorded it with a continuous chain, and it is mawqūf (1).

A similar wording is reported from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī as marfūʿ, narrated by the Five. In that report it is stated that after the takbīr he used to say:
“Aʿūdhu billāhi al-samīʿ al-ʿalīm mina al-shayṭān al-rajīm; min hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi”
(I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from Satan the accursed—-from his whispering, his blowing, and his spitting) (2).

Degree of authenticity:
The ḥadith is ṣaḥīḥ. Muslim’s chain is interrupted, but al-Dāraquṭnī’s is connected, and the report is mawqūf.

Ibn al-Qayyim said in al-Hādī: “It has been authentically established that ʿUmar began the prayer with this supplication, recited it aloud, and taught it to the people; therefore it carries the ruling of being marfūʿ. Al-Dāraquṭnī has also given it a connected chain, while al-Ḥākim and al-Dhahabī declared it sound, and its marfūʿ transmission is authentic through several routes. Hence the ḥadith is ṣaḥīḥ.”

As for the report of Abū Saʿīd, al-Tirmidhī remarked that it is the most famous narration on the subject. Ibn Khuzaymah said: “We do not know of any sound report among the scholars of ḥadith concerning the opening supplication ‘Subḥānaka Allāhumma wa bi-ḥamdik,’ and the best of its chains is that of Abū Saʿīd.”

The ḥadith also has a corroborating narration from Jubayr ibn Muṭʿim, authenticated by Ibn Ḥibbān, and another supporting report
