حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ , حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي جُنَادَةُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ ،عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ حِينَ يَسْتَيْقِظُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ ، لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ دَعَا : رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ أَوْ قَالَ : دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ ، فَإِنْ قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ " .
Ubadah bin al-Samit reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying; If anyone is alarmed while asleep and he says when awakes: there is no god but Allah alone Who has no partner, to whom dominion belongs, to whom praise is due, and who has power over everything (omnipotent). Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and then he prays: O my Lord, forgive me. Abu Dawud said: Al-Walid’s version has; and he prays, his prayer will be answered. If he gets up, performs ablution, and prays, his prayer will be accepted.

Hadith Commentary:
Ibn Battal rahimahullah has stated regarding this hadith that Allah Ta’ala, through the tongue of His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, promises that any Muslim who wakes up at night in such a way that words filled with the oneness (tawhid) of Allah Ta’ala, faith and certainty in Him, submission and servitude before His greatness and sovereignty, acknowledgment of His blessings, gratitude and praise for Him, and glorification and sanctification of His pure essence flow from his tongue—then Allah Ta’ala accepts his supplication and his prayer is also accepted in the court of the Lord of Might.
Therefore, whoever this hadith reaches should consider acting upon it as a great fortune, and should cultivate sincerity of intention in all deeds for his Lord, for the very first condition for acceptance is this sincerity.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Ibn Battal said that Allah, the Exalted, has promised through the truthful tongue of His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that whoever, upon waking from sleep at night, moves his tongue with the oneness (tawhid) of his Lord, affirms His sovereignty, praises and extols Him while acknowledging His blessings, glorifies (tasbih) and declares His oneness (tahlil), proclaims His greatness (takbir), and supplicates while admitting his own humility and helplessness, then Allah, the Exalted, will surely accept his supplication. And if he performs prayer (salah), he will also be honored with acceptance. Therefore, it is necessary that whoever reads this hadith should cultivate sincerity of intention within himself and consider this deed as a valuable opportunity.
(Fath al-Bari: 3/53)
(2)
The narrator of Sahih al-Bukhari, Abu Abdullah Farabri, says: One night I woke up and recited the aforementioned remembrance (dhikr), then I fell asleep again. In my dream, a man came to me and recited this verse:
﴿وَهُدُوا إِلَى الطَّيِّبِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ﴾ (al-Hajj: 22:24)
“These are the ones who were guided to the good word (kalimat tayyib).”

Explanation:
1:
There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, the One; He has no partner; sovereignty belongs to Him and all praise is for Him; there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest; and there is no power to avoid sin nor strength to do good except through Allah’s enabling.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is a tremendous favor from Allah,
that He has promised immense reward for deeds that outwardly appear minor and easy.
Because these deeds are connected to the remembrance (dhikr) of Allah,
which is a very great act.
➋
Remembering Allah upon waking up at night is greatly beloved to Allah.
Since this is a time of heedlessness,
therefore remembering Allah at this time is an expression of love for Allah.
➌
For the acceptance of supplication (dua), one should adopt this method: perform ablution (wudu) before sleeping at night, lie down on the right side, recite the prescribed supplications (masnun du‘a) and sleep; upon waking up at night, recite the aforementioned prescribed supplication, then make supplication (dua) and perform prayer (salah).
