Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ‏ "مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ: لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَلا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللَّهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي - أَوْ دَعَا - اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلاتُهُ".

Translation

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever awakens at night and says: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, alone without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things competent. All praise is for Allah, and glory is for Allah, and none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power nor might except with Allah,’ then says: ‘O Allah, forgive me’ or supplicates, he will be responded to. And if he performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1154)
