It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stand up at night to pray, after completing the prayer he would praise Allah, with such praise as is befitting to His Being, and then at the end he would recite this supplication: "O Allah! Place light in my heart, place light in my ears, place light in my eyes, place light on my right, place light on my left, place light in front of me, place light behind me, and increase light for me, increase light for me, and increase me in light."
