1355. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed Tahajjud at night, he would say: "Allâhumma lakal-hamd, Anta nurus-samâwâti wal-ard wa man fihinna. Wa lakal-hamd, Anta qayyâmus-samâwâti wal-ard wa man fihinna. Wa lakal-hamd, Anta mâlikus-samâwâti wal-ard wa man fihinna. Wa lakal-hamd, Antal-haqq, wa wa'duka haqq, wa liqâ'uka haqq, wa qawluka haqq, wal-jannatu haqq, wan-nâr haqq, was-sâ'atu haqq, wan-nabiyyuna haqq, wa Muhammadun haqq. Allâhumma laka aslamtu, wa bika âmantu, wa 'alaika tawakkaltu wa ilaika anabtu, wa bika khâsamtu, wa ilaika hâkamtu, faghfirlî mâ qaddamtu wa mâ akhkhartu, wa mâ asrartu wa mâ a'lantu. Antal-muqaddimu wa Antal-muakhkhiru. Lâ ilâha illa anta wa lâ ilâha ghairuka, wa lâ hawla wa lâ quwwata illa bika (O Allâh, to You is praise, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth, and everyone therein. To You is praise, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth, and everyone therein. To You is praise, You are the Sovereign of the heavens and the earth, and everyone therein. To You is praise, You are the Truth; Your promise is true, the meeting with You is true, Your saying is true, Paradise is true, the Fire is true, the Hour is true, the Prophets are true, and Muhammad is true. O Allāh, to You have I submitted, in You I believe, in You have I put my trust, to You I turn in repentance, by Your help I argue, to You I refer my case, so forgive me for my past and future sins, what I have done in secret and what I have done openly. You are the One Who brings forward and puts back. None who has the right to be worshiped but You, and there is none who has the right to be worshiped other than You. And there is no power and nor strength except with You.”(Sahih) Another chain that Ibn ‘Abbās narrated: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood during the night for Tahhajud,” and he mentioned something similar.
