85 – (Sound). Ibn ʿAbbās (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rose to pray in the middle of the night, he would say:

“O Allah, all praise is Yours; You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. All praise is Yours; You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. All praise is Yours; You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. All praise is Yours; You are the Truth, Your promise is truth, Your word is truth, meeting You is truth, Paradise is truth, Hellfire is truth, the prophets are truth, Muhammad is truth, and the Hour is truth.

O Allah, to You I have submitted; in You I have believed; upon You I have relied; to You I have turned in repentance; by Your aid I contend; and to You I refer judgment. So forgive me for what I have sent ahead and what I have delayed, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are my God—there is no god but You.” ⦗101⦘
