The excellence of Dhikr on entering into Salat (prayer)

 271. Anas narrated: A man came in panting and entered the row (Of prayer) and said: ´´All praise be to Allah, much Praised and Blessed.´´ When the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam finished the Salat, he asked: ´´Who said these words?´´ The people remained silent. He (the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam) again said: ´´Who of you said these words? He did not say something wrong.´´ Then a man said, ´´I came in and run short of breath so I said them.´´ He replied. ´´I saw twelve angels racing as to who of them be the first to take them up to Allah.´´
