Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلاَّ سَأَلَ وَلاَ بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلاَّ تَعَوَّذَ وَإِذَا جَلَسَ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Hudhaifah narrated: "I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ), and when he bowed, he would say: 'Subhana Rabbiyal-Azeem (Glory is to my Lord the Most Great),' and when he prostrated, he would say: 'Subhana Rabbiyal-A'la (Glory is to my Lord the Most High).' Whenever he passed by a verse mentioning mercy, he would ask (Allah for it), and whenever he passed by a verse mentioning punishment, he would seek refuge (with Allah from it). And when he sat between the two prostrations, he would say: 'Rabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li (O my Lord, forgive me. O my Lord, forgive me).'" (Sunan Abu Dawud 874, Graded Sahih by Al-Albani)
