حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الزُّرَقِيُّ عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِيهِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَعَطَسْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى. فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ: «مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ. ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ: «مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ. ثُمَّ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ: «مَنِ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟» فَقَالَ رِفَاعَةُ بْنُ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، مُبَارَكًا عَلَيْهِ، كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا وَيَرْضَى. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا بِضْعَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ مَلَكًا، أَيُّهُمْ يَصْعَدُ بِهَا».

I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I sneezed, so I said: “Praise be to Allah—much, good, and blessed praise, blessed in it and upon it, as our Lord loves and is pleased with.” When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, he turned and said: “Who was the one speaking during the prayer?” No one spoke. Then he said it a second time: “Who was the one speaking during the prayer?” No one spoke. Then he said it a third time: “Who was the one speaking during the prayer?” Rifā‘ah ibn Rāfi‘ ibn ‘Afrā’ said: “It was I, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “What did you say?” He replied: “I said: ‘Praise be to Allah—much, good, and blessed praise, blessed in it and upon it, as our Lord loves and is pleased with.’” The Prophet ﷺ said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, indeed thirty-some angels rushed to it, each of them seeking to be the one to take it up.”
Notes
قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَوَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَعَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ رِفَاعَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَكَأَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ لأَنَّ غَيْرَ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ قَالُوا إِذَا عَطَسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ إِنَّمَا يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَلَمْ يُوَسِّعُوا فِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
machine translationHe said: There are also narrations on this topic from Anas, Wā'il b. Ḥujr and ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Rifāʿah is a good (ḥasan) hadith. It seems that, according to some of the people of knowledge, this hadith concerns voluntary prayer, because more than one of the Followers (Tābiʿūn) said: If a man sneezes during the obligatory prayer, he should only praise Allah within himself. They did not allow more than that.
