Chapter: From the Musnad of Abū Mālik Sahl ibn Saʿd al-Sāʿidī (may Allah be pleased with him)
(4)
مُسْنَدُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 215
Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“If something unexpected occurs during the prayer, [men] should say ‘Subḥāna Allāh (Glory be to Allah)’. Clapping is for women, while glorification [of Allah] is for men.”

Musnad Aḥmad 215
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ، وَالتَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah → Abū Ḥāzim → Sahl ibn Saʿd (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah: Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah ibn Mīmūn al-Hilālī al-Kūfī (d. 198 AH); thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām. (2) Abū Ḥāzim: Salamah ibn Dīnār al-Aʿraj al-Madanī (d. 135 AH); thiqa ʿābid. (3) Sahl ibn Saʿd: Companion (Ṣaḥābī); Abū l-ʿAbbās al-Sāʿidī; the last Companion to die in Madinah, c. 88–91 AH. Takhrīj: Aḥmad (5/330); al-Bukhārī in Kitāb al-ʿAmal fī l-Ṣalāh (1203, 1234); Muslim in Kitāb al-Ṣalāh (421). The occasion for which this guidance was revealed was the incident in which a worshipper (in one narration identified as Abū Bakr) realized the imām had made an error or needed to be reminded. Saying “Subḥāna Allāh” loudly draws the imām’s attention without constituting speech that would invalidate the prayer. Women, by contrast, alert the imām by lightly clapping the back of one hand on the palm of the other, as their voices are not to be raised in mixed settings of worship.
