1356. It was narrated that 'Āsim bin Humaid said: "I asked 'Āishah: 'With what did the Prophet ﷺ start voluntary night prayers?' She said: 'You have asked me about something which no one has asked before. He used to say Allāhu Akbar ten times, and Al-Hamdu Lillāh ten times and Subhān-Allāh ten times, and Astagfirullāh ten times, and he would say Allāhumma aghfirli wahdīni, warzuqni, wa 'āfīni (O Allāh, forgive me, guide me, grant me provision and give me good health)," and he would seek refuge from the difficulty of the standing on the Day of Resurrection." (Hasan)

Commentary
'Seeking refuge from the difficulty of standing' means: O Allāh! When, on the Day of Resurrection, we present ourselves to render our accounts before You, let it not be difficult for me and all should pass away with comfort and ease.
