He also stated: “Whoever wakes during the night and says, ‘There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He has power over all things. Praise be to Allah; glory be to Allah; there is no god but Allah; Allah is the Greatest; and there is no power or strength except through Allah,’ then says, ‘O Allah, forgive me,’ or offers a supplication, will have his supplication answered. If he performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted.” This was recorded by al-Bukhārī (2).

You are the Sustainer (4) of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. To You belongs all praise. You are the Truth; Your promise is true; Your word is true; meeting You is true; Paradise is true; Hell is true; the prophets are true; Muhammad is true; and the Hour is true. O Allah, to You I have submitted; in You I have believed; upon You I have relied; to You I have turned in repentance; with Your aid I have argued; and to You I have referred disputes for judgment.

(1) The dual pronoun in “he recorded both…” refers to this hadith and the preceding one. (2) No. 1154, from the hadith of ‘Ubādah ibn al-Sāmit, may Allah be pleased with him. (3) Recorded by al-Bukhārī (4569) and Muslim (256), both with the wording “he looked towards the sky.” The wording “he raised his head” occurs in al-Tahāwī’s Sharh Mushkil al-Āthār (Explanation of Problematic Reports), no. 13. Shu‘ayb al-Arna’ūt comments in his critical edition: “Authentic according to Muslim’s criteria.” (4) ص، ك، ج: “qayyūm (Sustainer).”

داود (١). وأخبر أنَّ من استيقظ من اللَّيل فقال: «لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كلِّ شيءٍ قديرٌ، الحمد للَّه، وسبحان اللَّه، ولا إله إلا اللَّه، والله أكبر، ولا حول ولا قوَّة إلا بالله، ثمَّ قال: اللَّهمَّ اغفر لي أو دعا= استُجِيبَ له، فإن توضَّأ وصلَّى قُبِلتْ صلاته». ذكره البخاريُّ (٢). وقال ابن عبَّاسٍ عنه ﷺ ليلةَ مبيتهِ عنده: إنَّه لمَّا استيقظ رفع رأسه إلى السَّماء، وقرأ العشر الآيات الخواتيم من سورة آل عمران: ﴿إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ... ﴾ إلى آخرها [١٩٠ - ٢٠٠] (٣). ثمَّ قال: «اللَّهمَّ لك الحمدُ أنت نورُ السَّماوات والأرض ومن فيهنَّ، ولك الحمدُ أنت قيِّم (٤) السَّماوات والأرض ومن فيهنَّ، ولك الحمد أنت الحقُّ، ووعدُك الحقُّ، وقولك الحقُّ، ولقاؤك حقٌّ، والجنَّة حقٌّ، والنَّار حقٌّ، والنبيُّون حقٌّ، ومحمَّدٌ حقٌّ، والسَّاعة حقٌّ، اللَّهمَّ لك أسلمتُ، وبك آمنتُ، وعليك توكَّلتُ، وإليك أنبتُ، وبك خاصمتُ، وإليك حاكمتُ، فاغفر لي ما قدَّمتُ وما أخَّرتُ، وما أسررتُ وما أعلنتُ، أنت إلهي، لا إله إلا أنت، ولا
