حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ الْمَدَنِيُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا أَهَمَّهُ الأَمْرُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَإِذَا اجْتَهَدَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏

Abu Salamah Yahya ibn al-Mughirah al-Makhzumi al-Madani and others narrated to us; they said: Ibn Abi Fudayk narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn al-Fadl, from al-Maqburi, from Abu Hurayrah, that when a matter concerned the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would raise his head toward the sky and say: ‘Glory be to Allah, the Magnificent.’ When he exerted himself in supplication, he would say: ‘O Ever-Living, O Sustainer.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith.’
