[Machine] I asked Aisha and said, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say when he got up at night? And what did he seek when starting?" She said, "He used to praise Allah ten times, and send blessings upon him ten times, and say the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) ten times, and say the tahleel (La ilaha illallah) ten times, and seek forgiveness ten times. And he used to say, 'O Allah, forgive me, guide me, and provide for me ten times.' And he used to say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from difficulty on the Day of Judgement ten times.'"
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ؟ وَبِمَ كَانَ يَسْتَفْتِحُ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُكَبِّرُ عَشْرًا وَيُسَبِّحُ عَشْرًاوَيُهَلِّلُ عَشْرًا وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ عَشْرًا وَيَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي عَشْرًا وَيَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضِّيقِ يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ عَشْرًا
