"I do not know of any prayer better than his"

Abu Bakr al-Subghi said:

فأما ابن نصر فما رأيت أحسن صلاة منه , لقد بلغني أن زنبورا قعد على جبهته , فسال الدم على وجهه , ولم يتحرك

ENGLSH:

"As for Ibn Nasr, I do not know of any prayer better than his. I heard that a hornet stung him on his forehead and blood started flowing down his face, but he did not move".

NEDERLANDS:

"Ik heb geen betere gebeden gezien dan de gebeden van Ibn Nasr. Ik heb gehoord dat hij door een wesp op zijn voorhoofd werd gestoken en bloed op zijn gezicht kwam, zonder dat hij bewoog!"

["Siyar A'lam An-Nubala", 14/36].

And while he prayed he did not notice that they removed he's leg whit a zaag (that's in dutch i don't knowe the name in english) i also don't know the name of the prayer does any one know?
