1120. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهم: Whenever the Prophet ﷺ got up at night to offer the Tahajjud prayer, he used to say: “Allāhumma lakal-ḥamd. Anta Qaiyimus-samāwāti wal-arḍ wa man fīhinna. Wa lakal-ḥamdu, lakal mūlkus-sāmāwati wal-arḍ wa man fīhinna. Wa lakal-ḥamd, Anta Nūrus-samāwāti wal-arḍ. Antal-Ḥaq wa wa’dukal-ḥaq, wa liqā’uka ḥaq, wa qualuka ḥaq, wal-jannatu ḥaq wan-nāru ḥaq wannabīyy-ūna ḥaq, wa Muḥammadun ﷺ ḥaq, was-sā’atu ḥaq. Allāhumma laka aslamtu wabika āmantu, wa ‘alaika tawakkaltu, wa ilaika anabtu wa bika kḥāṣamtu, wa ilaika hākamtu, faghfir li mā qaddamtu wamā akh-kḥartu wamā as-rartu wamā’ a’lantu, Antal-Muqaddim wa Antal-Mu’akh-kḥir, lā ilāha illā Anta (or lā ilāha ghairuka).” [O Allāh! All the praises are for You; You are the Sustainer and Protector of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is in them. All the praises are for You; You have the possession of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them. All the praises are for You; You are the Light of the heavens and the earth; You are the King of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in them, and all the praises are for You; You are the Truth and Your Promise is the truth, and the Meeting with You is the truth, Your Words are the truth, and Paradise is the truth, and Hell is the truth and all the Prophets (peace be upon them) are the truth. And Muḥammad ﷺ is the truth, and the Hour (Day of Resurrection) is the truth. O Allāh! I surrender to You, I believe in You and depend on You, and repent to You, and with Your Help I argue (with my opponents, the disbelievers) and I take You as a Judge (to judge between us). Please forgive me my past and future sins; and whatever I concealed and whatever I revealed; and You are the One Who make (some people) forward and (some) backward. There is none who has the right to be worshipped but You or there is no other than You who has the right to be worshipped]]. Sufyān said that 'Abdul Karīm Abū Umaiyya added to the above, Walā ḥaula wa lā quwwata illā billāh' (There is neither might nor power except with Allāh).
