Remembrance & praise

Aisha's account of what he repeated

She noticed he had begun saying it constantly in rukūʿ and sujūd.

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ، رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي

Subḥānaka-llāhumma rabbanā wa bi-ḥamdik, Allāhumma-ghfir lī.

“Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise. O Allah, forgive me.”

He was acting on what had been revealed to him, which he took as a sign that his time was near.

The full narration

Narrated 'Aishah (ra):The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say in his bowings and prostrations, "Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli" (Glorified be You, O Allah, our Lord! All the praises are for You. O Allah, forgive me)
