It is reported that on the night of Ascension (Meraj) the Holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) saw an angel who was completely absorbed in the adoration of Allah to an unimaginable extend. Once he humbly asked Allah if there was any other of His creature who might be his equal in worshipping Him.

Allah revealed to him that there was a person on the earth whose adoration and glorification of Allah excelled him. The angle with the permission descended on the earth and say that person glorified Allah in the following words after every prayer (Namaz)

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. سُبْحَانَ اللهِ کُلَّمَا سَبَّحَ اللهَ شَیْءٌ وَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُّسَبَّحَ وَ كَمَا هُوَ اَهْلُهٗ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِیْ لِكـَرَمِ وَجْهِهٖ وَ عِزِّ جَلاَلِهٖ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ کُلَّمَا حَمِدَ اللهَ شَیْءٌ وَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَ كَمَا هُوَ اَهْلُهٗ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِیْ لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهٖ وَ عِزِّ جَلاَلِهٖ وَ لاَ اِلٰهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ کُلَّمَا هَلَّلَ اللهَ شَیْءٌ وَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُهَلَّلَ وَ كَمَا هُوَ اَهْلُهٗ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِیْ لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهٖ وَ عِزِّ جَلاَلِهٖ وَ اللهُ اَکْبَرُ کُلَّمَا كَبَّرَ اللهَ شَیْءٌ وَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللهُ اَنْ يُكَبَّرَ وَ كَمَا هُوَ اَهْلُهٗ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِیْ لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِ وَ عِزِّ جَلاَلِهٖ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَ لاَ اِلٰهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَکْبَرُ عَلٰی کُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ اَنْعَمَ بِهَا عَلَیَّ وَ عَلٰی کُلِّ اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهٖ مِمَّنْ كَانَ اَوْ يَکُوْنُ اِلٰی يَوْمِ الْقِيٰمَةِ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا اَرْجُوْ وَ خَيْرِ مَا لاَ اَرْجُوْ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا اَحْذَرُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا لاَ اَحْذَرُ.

"In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Merciful

Glory be to Allah! like everything that glorifies Allah; and in way Allah loves to be glorified and as He deserved it so; and as it beloved Him due to His distinct Munificence and His Excellent Glory. There is no god but Allah! like everything that praises Allah, and He desees it so and as it beloves Him due to His distinct Munificence and His Excellent Glory, There is no god but Allah! like everything that proclaims Allah’s Absolute Unity, and in the way of Allah loves to be proclaimed Absolute One, and as He deserves it so and as it beloves Him due to His distinct Munificence and Excellent Glory.

Allah is the Greatest! like everything that declares Allah’s Greatness, and in the way Allah loves to be declared Great and as He deserves it so, and as it beloves Him due to His distinct Munificence and Excellent Glory. Glory be to Allah. All praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah, is the Greatest, (I repeatedly recite this) to the extent of the bounties He has bestowed on me and everyone of His creations those who have been and those who are to be till Day of Judgement.

O Allah! I beseech Thee to shower thy blessing on Mohammed and (pure) progeny of Mohammed

And (O Allah!) I beseech Thee to grant me the good I hope for and (the good), for which I have not hoped for and (due to my ignorance); and I beseech Thy protection from the evil I (wish) to keep away from, and (the evil) I have not taken care of (due to my ignorance)"
