5060. It was narrated that ‘Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Whoever wakes up at night, and says, when he wakes up: “Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, laḥul-mulku wa laḥul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in qadīr, Subḥān Allāh, wal-ḥamdulillah, wa lā ilāha illallāh, wallāhu akbar, wa la ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh (There is none worthy of worship but Allāh with no partner or associate, His is the dominion, to Him be praise and He has power over all things. Glory be to Allāh, praise be to Allāh, there is none worthy of worship but Allāh and Allāh is the Greatest, and there is no power and no strength except with Allāh),” then he supplicates (saying): “Rabbighfirlī (O Lord, forgive me)” – Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Walīd (one of the narrators) said: “he supplicates” – ‘he will be answered, and if he gets up and performs Wuḍū’ and prays, his prayer will be accepted.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
