The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-07b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Zuhayr ibn Harb narrated to us, saying: Isma'il ibn Iliyyah narrated to us, saying: al-Hajjaj ibn Abi Uthman informed me from Abu al-Zubayr from Awn ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utbah from Ibn 'Umar, who said:
While we were praying with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man from among the people said: "Allah is the Greatest, the Great; praise be to Allah, abundantly; and glory be to Allah, morning and evening." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who said such and such?" A man from the people said: "I did, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "I was amazed by it; the gates of the heavens were opened for it." Ibn 'Umar said: "I have not left them since I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that." بينما نحن نصلي مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ قال رجل من القوم الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من القائل كلمة كذا وكذا قال رجل من القوم أنا يا رسول الله قال عجبت لها فتحت لها أبواب السماء قال ابن عمر فما تركتهن منذ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ذلك
.

The Shaykh : This suggests that it is either the first story or another one, and the possibility that it is another one is more likely due to the clear difference between them, not in terms of the dhikr, nor in the fact that the first story mentions that
Twelve angels rushed (to take them up). ابتدرها اثنا عشر ملكا أيهم يرفعها
Sunan an-Nasa'i 885Sahih (Darussalam)
whereas this one mentions that the gates of the heavens were opened for it, and there is no mention of any of the angels rushing to it. Therefore, it appears to be a different story. Then here it says
When a man said إذ قال رجل
and it is possible that he said it when he entered the prayer or that he said it after rising from the bowing. It is needed, perhaps something will come in some contexts that indicates that.
