Sunan an-Nasai 1120 (Book 12, Hadith 92) #15728
Glorifying Allah During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) conveyed the message of Allah and taught that when bowing and prostrating, one should glorify Allah and strive hard in supplication.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah drew aside the curtain when he had a cloth wrapped around his head during his final illness, and said: 'O Allah, I have conveyed (the Message)' three times'.There is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a person sees or is seen by others for him. But I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an when bowing and prostrating, so when you bow, then glorify your Lord and when you prostrate, then strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ - ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ - إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلاَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ نُهِيتُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas tells us about the importance of prayer in Islam. During his final illness, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) drew aside a curtain with a cloth wrapped around his head and said "O Allah, I have conveyed the Message" three times. He then taught that when bowing and prostrating during prayer, one should glorify their Lord by saying "Subhanallah" or "Glory be to God", as well as strive hard in supplication or du'a. This is because du'a is more deserving of a response from God than reciting Quranic verses while bowing or prostrating. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our prayers and to make sure we are actively engaging with them rather than just going through the motions. We must remember that prayer is an opportunity for us to communicate with our Creator so we must take advantage of it by making sincere du'as for ourselves, our families, our communities, etc., while also praising Him for His greatness throughout each prayer session.
