766. 'Āsim bin Humaid said: "Āishah was asked what (supplication) the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would begin his night prayer with. She replied: 'You have asked me about a matter that no one before you has asked me. When he stood up, he would say the Takbīr ten times, and Al-ḥamdulillāh ten times, and the Tasbih (Subhān Allāh) ten times, and the Tahlīl (Lā ilāha illallāh) ten times, and seek forgiveness (Astagfirullāh) ten times, and say: "Allāhummaghfirlī, wahdīnī, warzuqnī, wa'āfinī (O Allāh! Forgive me, and guide me, and grant me sustenance, and grant me protection (from all afflictions))." And he would also seek Allāh's Protection from the narrowness of the station on the Day of Judgment.'" (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Khālid bin Ma'dān reported it from Rabī'ah Al-Jurashī from 'Āishah, similarly.

766 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَزْهَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْحَرَازِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَفْتَتِحُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكَ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ كَبَّرَ عَشْرًا، وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَشْرًا، وَسَبَّحَ عَشْرًا، وَهَلَّلَ عَشْرًا، وَاسْتَغْفَرَ عَشْرًا، وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي» وَيَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمَقَامِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَرَوَاهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ الْجُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوَهُ
