When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to pray at night (for tahajjud prayer) he uttered the takbir and then said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah," and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name," and Exalted is Thy greatness." and "There is no god but Thee." He then said: "There is no god but Allah" three times; he then said: "Allah is altogether great" three times: "I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)" He then recited (the Qur'an). Abu Dawud said: It is said that this tradition has been narrated by 'Ali b. 'Ali from al-Hasan omitting the name of the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. The misunderstanding occurred on the part of Ja'far.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا ثَلاَثًا أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began his prayer, he said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah," and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name, and Exalted is Thy greatness, sand there is no god but Allah." Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not well known from 'Abd al-Salam b. Harb. No one narrated this except Talq b. Ghannam. A group of narrators reported the description of prayer from (the narrator) Budail; they did not mention therein this supplication.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

"When the Prophet opened the Salat he would say: (Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa tabarakasmuka, wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk)" 'Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blessed is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but You.'

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

When the Prophet ﷺ started to pray he would say: "Subhanakallahumma, wa bihamdika tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah. Blessed be Your name and exalted be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You.)"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started to pray, he would say: 'Subhanakallahumma, wa bihamdika tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah. Blessed be Your name and exalted be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You.)"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to start his prayer by saying: ‘Subhanaka Allahumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabarakas-muka, wa ta’ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghairuka (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, blessed be Your Name and exalted be Your majesty, none has the right to be worshipped but you).”

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِحُ صَلاَتَهُ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

“Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabarakas- muka wa ta’ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghayruk (Glory and praise is to You, O Allah, blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your majesty, none has the right to be worshipped but You).”

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

[AI] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would get up at night, he would say: 'Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. Blessed is Your name and exalted is Your Majesty. There is no deity worthy of worship except You. I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from Satan, the accursed, from his whispers, breaths, and blowing.' Then he would begin his prayer. Ja'far explained it as follows: 'His whispers refers to death, his breaths refers to poetry, and his blowing refers to arrogance.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَكَبَّرَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَفْتِحُ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ وَفَسَّرَهُ مَطَرٌ هَمْزُهُ الْمُوتَةُ وَنَفْثُهُ الشِّعْرُ وَنَفْخُهُ الْكِبْرُ

[AI] He heard Abu Umamah al-Bahili say: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he entered the night prayer, would say the takbeer (Allahu Akbar) three times, and then say the tasbeeh (Subhanallah) three times, and then say the tahleel (La ilaha illallah) three times. Afterwards, he would say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed devil, from his whisperings, his blowing, and his evil influence.'"

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا وَسَبَّحَ ثَلَاثًا وَهَلَّلَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَشِرْكِهِ

[AI] He heard Abu Umamah al-Bahili saying that the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , when he stood up for prayer, he would say Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) three times, then he would say La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah) three times, and Subhanallah wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him) three times. Then he would say, "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, from his whisperings, his blowing, and his spitting."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ يَقُولُ كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ

Glory be to Allah in the morning and in the evening, three times. I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan, from his puffing, his whispering, and his blowing'."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَادَخَلَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا * وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا ثَلَاثًا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا ثَلَاثًا أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ نَفْخِهِ وَهَمْزِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ»

[AI] The Prophet (PBUH) used to say "Allahu Akbar" loudly three times at the beginning of the prayer, and "Alhamdulillah" three times after that. Then he would say "Subhanallah" three times. After that, he would say, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from Satan, from his whisperings, from his spittle and from his blowing." He would also say, "Whispering is his poetry, his blowing is arrogance, and his spittle is the is the one who dies in his ailments."

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began his prayer, he said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah," and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name, and Exalted is Thy greatness, sand there is no god but Allah." Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not well known from 'Abd al-Salam b. Harb. No one narrated this except Talq b. Ghannam. A group of narrators reported the description of prayer from (the narrator) Budail; they did not mention therein this supplication. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 776)

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when he would rise from sleep at night, "Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik, Allahumma ghfir li." Then he would say, "I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the cursed Satan, from his madness, evil, and blowing." Then he would recite the following, narrated to us by Abdullah bin Mas'ud, in a raised and standing voice.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ فَذَكَرَ اسْتِفْتَاحَهُ بِسُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِالتَّهْلِيلِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ بَعْدَهُ ثَلَاثًا أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ وَرُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مَرْفُوعًا وَمَوْقُوفًا

[AI] "Omar, when he entered the prayer, used to say "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the greatest), then he would say "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, tabarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk" (Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You, blessed is Your name and exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god but You), then he seeks refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed, then he recites what is clear to him from the Quran."

أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ ثُمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ مَا بَدَا لَهُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

He then said: "There is no god but Allah" three times; he then said: "Allah is altogether great" three times: "I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)" He then recited (the Qur'an). Abu Dawud said: It is said that this tradition has been narrated by 'Ali b. 'Ali from al-Hasan omitting the name of the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. The misunderstanding occurred on the part of Ja'far. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 775)

"كَانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِحُ الصَّلاةَ، يَقُولُ: سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالى جَدُّكَ، وَلَا إِلهَ غَيْرُكَ".

"كَانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ صَلَاتَهُ كبَّر ثُمَّ قَالَ: "سُبحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبحَمِدكَ، تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّك، وَلَا إِلَهَ غيْرُكَ، ثُمَّ هَلَّلَ ثَلَاثًا، ويكبِّر ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَقُول: أَعُوذُ بِالله الْعَلِيم مِنَ الشَّيْطَان الرَّجِيم".
