775. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated, "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to stand up to pray at night, he would say the Takbīr: then say: 'Subhānak Allāhumma wa biḥamdika wa tabārakasmuka, wa ta'ālā jadduka wa lā ilāha ghairuk (O Allāh, You are Exalted (above any evil attributed to You by others), and Praised (because of Your Perfect Names and Attributes). And lofty is Your Glory, and there is no deity worthy of worship besides You).’ Then he would say: ‘Lā ilāha illallāh (None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh)’ three times, then: ‘Allāhu Akbaru kabīra (Allāh is Most Great indeed) — three times — ‘A’ūdhu billāhis-samī’il-‘alīmi minash-shaitānir-rajīmi min hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi (I seek refuge in Allāh, the Hearer (of everything), the Knower (of all), from Shaitān the accursed; from his breath, his spit, and his prodding). Then he would recite.” (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: They say this Hadīth is actually narrated on the authority of ‘Ali bin ‘Ali, from Al-Ḥasan, in Mursal form, and Ja’far (one of the narrators in it) made a mistake.

775 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ مُطَهَّرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرَكَ»، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا» ثَلَاثًا، «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ، وَنَفْخِهِ، وَنَفْثِهِ»، ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ، يَقُولُونَ هُوَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ مُرْسَلًا الْوَهْمُ مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ
