Subḥāna-lladhī yusabbiḥu-r-ra‘du bi-ḥamdihi wa-l-malā’ikatu min khīfatih.
Context
We relate in the Muwaṭṭa’ with a ṣaḥīḥ isnād from ‘Abdullāh ibn az-Zubayr 
who reported that when the Messenger of Allah 
heard thunder he stopped talking and said: “Glory be to Him Whose praise the thunder and the angels celebrate, in fear of Him.” [2].Imam ash-Shāfi‘ī, may Allah have mercy on him, said in al-Umm with a ṣaḥīḥ isnād from Ṭāwūs, the great Tābi‘ī Imam 
, that he used to say upon hearing the thunder, “Glory be to the One you praise!”
