"I asked 'Aishah with what did he- meaning the Prophet ﷺ- start Qiyam Al-Lail? She said: 'You have asked me something which no one before you has asked. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the takbir ten times, the tahmid ten times, the tasbih ten times, and the tahlil ten times, and pray for forgiveness ten times, and say: Allahummaghfirli, wahdini, warzuqni wa 'afini. A'udhu billahi min diqil-maqami yawmal-qiyamah (O Allah, forgive me, guide me, grant me provision and good health. I seek refuge with Allah from the difficulty of standing on the Day of Resurrection.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1617)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٣١٩أَخْبَرَنَا عُصْمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ نَيْسَابُورِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَزْهَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِمَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِحُ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ سَأَلَتْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ عَشْرًا وَيَحْمَدُ عَشْرًا وَيُسَبِّحُ عَشْرًا وَيُهَلِّلُ عَشْرًا وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ عَشْرًا وَيَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمَقَامِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
