Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 2420 — What the prayer is opened with
٢٤٢٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا سويد بن عمرو الكلبي قال: نا عبد العزيز ابن أبي سلمة قال: أنا الماجشون (عمي) (١) عن الأعرج عن عبيد اللَّه بن أبي رافع عن علي قال: كان النبي ﷺ إذا افتتح الصلاة كبر، ثم قال: "وَجهْتُ وَجْهِي للذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حنيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ، إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنسُكي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتي للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمينَ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَبذَلِكَ أمِرْتُ، وَأنَا أوَّلُ المُسْلِمِين. اللَّهُمَّ ⦗١١⦘ أَنْتَ الملكُ لَا إلَهَ إلَا أْنتَ، (أنْتَ رَبِّي) (٢) وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي، وَاعتُرفْتُ بِذَنْبي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذنُوبي جَميعًا إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إلا أَنْتَ، وَاهْدِني لأَحْسْنِ الأَخْلاقِ (فَلَا يَهْدِي) (٣) لأَحْسَنها إلا أنْتَ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا (فَلَا) (٤) يَصْرِفُ (عَنِّي) (٥) سِيِّئهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، لَبيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالخْيَرُ كُلُّهُ في يَدَيْكَ، أَنَا بِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ، تَبَارَكتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ، أَسْتَغْفرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إلَيْكَ" (٦).
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, after saying "Allahu akbar" he would say these words: "I have turned my face, as one inclining to the truth, towards the One who brought the heavens and the earth into being, and I am not of those who associate partners with Him. My prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for Allah, Lord of the worlds, who has no partner. This is what I have been commanded, and I am the first of those who submit. O Allah, You are the King; there is none worthy of worship but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I confess my sin, so forgive me all my sins; surely none forgives sins but You. Guide me to the best of character; none guides to the best of it but You. Keep me away from bad character; none can keep me away from it but You. Here I am at Your service, counting it my good fortune to be in Your presence. All good is in Your hands. My support and my return are to You alone. You are blessed and exalted. I seek Your forgiveness and I turn to You in repentance."
