3420. Abū Salamah said: "I asked 'Aishah [may Allāh be pleased with her]: 'With what did the Prophet ﷺ used to open his Ṣalāt when he stood up in the night?' She said: 'When he stood up in the night, he would open his Ṣalāt by saying: "O Allāh, Lord of Jibra'īl, Mikā'īl, and Isrā'īl; Originator of the heavens and the earth, [and] Knower of the hidden and the seen; You judge between Your slaves concerning
that which they used to differ, guide me through that which there has been difference concerning the truth, verily, You are upon a straight path (Allāhumma Rabba Jibra'ila Wa Mikā'ila Wa Isrāfil, Fāṭiras-Samawāti Wal-Ardī [Wa] 'Ālimal-Ghaibi Wash-Shahādāti Anta Taḥkumu Baina 'Ibādika Fīmā Kānū Fīhi Yakhtalifun, Ihdinī Limākhtulifa Fīhi Minal-Haqqi Bi'idhnika Innaka 'Ala Ṣirāṭin Mustaqīm).") (Ṣāḥih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb.
