حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَابْلُتِّيُّ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فأَتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ» الْهَوِيَّ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» الْهَوِيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ؟» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرَافَقَتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ «فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ»

✧ I used to spend the night with the Messenger of God ﷺ, bringing him his ablution water and his needs. He would get up at night and say: "Glory be to my Lord and praise be to Him, glory be to my Lord and praise be to Him" for the hawi, "Glory be to the Lord of the worlds, glory be to the Lord of the worlds" for the hawi. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Do you have a need?" I said: O Messenger of God, your companionship in Paradise. He said: "Then help me against your own self by abundant prostration."
