اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ
Allahumma lakal-hamdu kama yanbaghi li-jalali wajhika wa 'adhimi sultanik
O Allah, praise is Yours as befits the majesty of Your Face and the greatness of Your authority.
A man said this in prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him afterward: "I saw over thirty angels racing to see which of them would record it first." The angels were puzzled too — they did not know how to record a praise that is limitless. This phrase delegates the measurement to Allah Himself: "as befits Your majesty" — only He knows what that amount is.
