Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I said: O Jibril! Does Allah Almighty also perform Salah?" He said: "Yes!" I said: "What is His Salah?" He said: 'Subbuhun Quddusun, Sabaqat Rahmati Ghadabi, Sabaqat Rahmati Ghadabi' — 'I am free from every defect and every shortcoming, My mercy has prevailed over My wrath, My mercy has prevailed over My wrath.'" He said this twice.
