Home Hadith Hadith 1166
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The saying 'Sub Han Allah' is for men and clapping is for women." (If something
happens in the prayer, the men can invite the attention of the Imam by saying "Sub Han Allah". And
women, by clapping their hands).

← Previous Hadith
We used to say the greeting, name and greet each other in the prayer. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard it and
said:--"Say, 'at-tahiyyatu lil-lahi was-salawatu wat-taiyibatu . Assalamu 'Alaika aiyuha-n-Nabiyu warahmatu-
l-lahi wa-barakatuhu. _ Assalamu alaina wa-'ala 'ibadi-l-lahi as-salihin.. Ashhadu an la ilaha
illa-l-lah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan `Abdu hu wa Rasuluh. (All the compliments are for Allah
and all the prayers and all the good things (are for Allah). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allah's
mercy and blessings (are on you). And peace be on us and on the good (pious) worshipers of Allah. I
testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and
Apostle.) So, when you have said this, then you have surely sent the greetings to every good (pious)
worshipper of Allah, whether he be in the Heaven or on the Earth . "
