Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا قَالَ الإِمَامُ: سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، فَقُولُوا: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الحَمْدُ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ وَافَقَ قَوْلُهُ قَوْلَ المَلَائِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»
Abu Huraira narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When the Imam says, ‘Samiʿa Allahu liman ḥamidah,’ you should say, ‘Allahumma Rabbana lakal-hamd.’ For whoever’s saying coincides with that of the angels, his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 796)
