English translation

771. It was reported from Abū Az-Zubair, from Tāwūs, from Ibn 'Abbās that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would stand up to pray in the middle of the night, he would say: "Allāhumma! Lakal-ḥamdu, anta nūrus-samāwāti wal-ard, lakal-ḥamdu, anta qayyāmus-samāwāti wal-ard, wa lakal-ḥamdu, anta rabbus-samāwāti wal-ard, wa man fīhinna, antal-ḥaqqu, wa qawlukal-ḥaqqu, wa wa'dukal-ḥaqqu, wa liqa'uka ḥaqqun, wal-jannatu ḥaqqun wan-nāru ḥaqqun was-sā'atu ḥaqq. Allāhumma laka aslamtu, wa bika āmantu, wa 'alaika tawak-kaltu, wa ilaika anabtu wa bika khāsamtu, wa ilaika hākamtu, faghfirlī mā qaddamtu wa akh-khartu, wa asrartu wa a'lantu, anta ilāhī lā ilāha illā anta (O Allāh, to You belongs all praise; You are the Light of the heavens and earth. And to You belongs all praise; You are the Sustainer (and Maintainer) of the heavens and earth. And to You belongs all praise; You are the Lord of the heavens and earth and all that is in them. You are the Truth, and Your Speech is the truth, and Your Promise is the truth, and meeting with You is the truth, and Paradise is true, and Hell is true, and the Hour (of Judgment) is true. O Allāh, to You I submit, and in You I believe, and upon You I put my trust, and to You I repent, and for You I dispute,[1] and to You I leave my judgment. So forgive me all that has preceded from me, and that which is remaining, and that which is secret, and that which is open. You are my object of worship (and devotion); there is no deity worthy of worship except You).” (Ṣāḥih)

771 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيَّامُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَأَخَّرْتُ وَأَسْرَرْتُ وَأَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ»،
