English translation
1618. It was narrated that 'Āšim bin Ĥumaid said: "I asked 'Āishah with what did he - meaning the Prophet ﷺ - start Qiyâm Al-Lail? She said: 'You have asked me something which no one before you has asked. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to say the Takbîr ten times, the Tahmîd ten times, the Tasbîh ten times and the Tahlîl ten times, and pray for forgiveness ten times, and say: Allâhummaghfirlî, wâhdinî, wârzuqnî wa 'âfinî. A'ûdhu billâhi min dîqil-maqâmi yawmal-qiyâmah (O Allâh, forgive me, guide me, grant me provision and good health. I seek refuge with Allâh from the difficulty of standing on the Day of Resurrection.)" (Hasan)
