Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-3093b
"عن ابن عباس قال: قال عمر: أما الحمدُ فقد عرفناه، فقد يحمدُ بعضهم بعضًا، وأما "لا إله إلا اللَّه" فقد عرفناها، فقد عُبِدت الآلهة من دون اللَّه، وأما "اللَّه أكبرُ" فقد يكبر المصلى، وأما "سبحان اللَّه" فما هو؟ فقال رجل من القوم: اللَّه أعلم فقال عُمَرُ: قَدْ شَقِى عُمَرُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّه أَعْلَمُ، فقال على: يا أميرَ المؤمنين! اسم ممنوع أن ينتحله أحدٌ من الخلائق، وإليه يفزع الخلق، وأحب أن يقال له، فقال عمر: هو، كذلك".

"It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: \"'Umar said: 'As for praise (al-hamd), we know it, for some of them praise one another. As for 'There is no god but Allah,' we know it, for gods have been worshipped besides Allah. As for 'Allahu akbar,' the one praying says it. As for 'Subhan Allah,' what is it?' A man from the people said: 'Allah knows best.' 'Umar said: 'Indeed 'Umar has become wretched if he does not know that Allah knows best.' 'Ali said: 'O Commander of the Faithful! It is a name that no one among the creation may claim, and to it the creation turns, and He loves that it be said to Him.' 'Umar said: 'It is so.'\""
