However, al-Munḏirī, in al-Targhīb (1/167), attributed the ḥadīth to Aḥmad, al-Nasāʾī, and Ibn Ḥibbān in his Ṣaḥīḥ. This indicates that al-Nasāʾī possesses it through a route other than that of Ibn Yaʿīsh, for the latter is not among al-Nasāʾī’s transmitters.

Abū Ruhm al-Saʿmī also corroborated it from Abū Ayyūb with the wording:

“Whoever says when he awakes, lā ilāha illā Allāh waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-ḥamd, yuḥyī wa yumīt, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr (There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone; He has no partner. His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent) ten times, Allah writes for him, for each time he says it, ten good deeds, erases ten sins, raises him ten degrees, it is equivalent for him to freeing ten slaves, and it becomes a protective shield for him from the start of the day until its end, and no deed he performs that day will surpass it. If he says it when evening comes, he receives the same reward.”

114 – “Whoever says when he awakes: lā ilāha illā Allāh waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-ḥamd, yuḥyī wa yumīt, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr, ten times, Allah records for him, with every utterance, ten good deeds, removes from him ten misdeeds, elevates him by ten degrees, it is for him as the freeing of ten slaves, and it serves as a protective shield for him from the beginning of the day to its end; and no deed he performs that day will outstrip it. If he says it when evening falls, he receives the like.”

It was recorded by Aḥmad (5/420): “Abū al-Yamān narrated to us; Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated to us, from Ṣafwān ibn ʿAmr, from Khālid ibn Maʿdān, from Abū Ruhm,” with this wording.}
