Supplication for the morning, evening, and bedtime
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ᴿᴬ said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, instruct me with words that I should say when I enter the morning and when I enter the evening. He said: "Say:
allāhumma ʿālima al-ghaybi wal-shahādah, fāṭira al-samāwāti wal-arḍ, rabba kulli shayʾin wa-malīkah, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā anta, aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī, wa-sharri al-shayṭāni wa-shirkih
(O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord of everything and its Sovereign, I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of myself and from the evil of Satan and his shirk.)"
He said: "Say it when you enter the morning, when you enter the evening, and when you go to your bed."
أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ؓ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مُرْنِي بِكَلِمَاتٍ أَقُولُهُنَّ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتُ. قَالَ: «قُلِ:
اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ».
قَالَ: «قُلْهَا إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ، وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ، وَإِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ».
