عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ) كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ
