It also has a supporting narration from the hadith of ʿAli, with the wording: “When he walked, he would lean forward, as though he were walking uphill.” Ibn Saʿd reported it with a good chain of transmission, and al-Tirmidhi recorded it in al-Shamaʾil (p. 91) with the wording: “as though he were descending a slope.”

2084 — “While bowing or prostrating, he would say: ‘Glory be to You, and praise be Yours. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.’”

Reported by al-Tabarani in al-Muʿjam al-Kabir (72/1), from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysah, from Hammad, from Abu al-Duha, from Masruq, from ʿAbd Allah ibn Masʿud, attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

Its narrators have been declared trustworthy according to Muslim’s criteria, except for this Hammad—who is Hammad ibn Abi Sulayman, as stated in the biographical notice on Ibn Abi Unaysah in al-Tahdhib (1/225/2)—for he has a slight weakness, as is indicated by al-Hafiz’s statement in al-Taqrib: “Truthful, though prone to errors.”

The hadith also has another chain, transmitted by Israʾil, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu ʿUbaydah, from ʿAbd Allah, who said: “When the verse, ‘When Allah’s help and victory come,’ (1) was revealed to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, whenever he recited it and bowed, he would often say: ‘Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be Yours. O Allah, forgive me; indeed, You are the Ever-Accepting of repentance, the Most Merciful,’ three times.” Ahmad reported it (3683, 3745). I say: Its narrators are trustworthy narrators of al-Bukhari and Muslim, apart from Abu ʿUbaydah. He is trustworthy, but he did not hear from
