Dua upon waking up at night
from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: "Whoever wakes during the night and says:
lā ilāha illā allāhu waḥdahū lā sharīka lahū, lahu al-mulk wa-lahu al-ḥamd, wa-huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. subḥāna Allāh, wa-l-ḥamdu li-llāh, wa-Allāhu akbar, wa-lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-llāh
(There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He has power over all things; glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, Allah is greater, and there is no power nor strength except through Allah);
then says: My Lord, forgive me—or he said: then makes a dua—he will be answered. Then if he resolves to perform wudu and then prays, his prayer will be accepted."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: *«مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ،
ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، أَوْ قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا، اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ عَزَمَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى، تُقُبِّلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ»*.
