5085. It was narrated from Sharīq Al-Hawzanī who said: “I entered upon ‘Aishah, and asked her: ‘What did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ do first when he woke up at night?’ She said: ‘You have asked me about something that no one else has asked me about before. When he woke up at night, he would say Allāhu Akbar ten times, and Al-Hamdu Lillah ten times, he said "Subhān Allāh wa bi hamdih (glory and praise be to Allāh)" ten times, he said, Subhān Al-Malikil-Quddūs (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Holy)" ten times, he prayed for forgiveness ten times, and said Lā ilāha illallāh ten times, then he said: "Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika min dīqid-dunyā wa dīqi yawmil-qiyāmah (O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from hardship in this world and hardship on the Day of Resurrection)," – ten times, then he started to pray." (Hasan)
