Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31306 — Supplication at night: what is it?

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed Tahajjud at night, he would supplicate thus: "O Allah, to You alone belongs all praise; You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. To You alone belongs all praise; You alone are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. To You alone belongs all praise; You alone are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Lord of those within them. You alone are the Truth, Your word is true, Paradise is true, the Fire is true, and the Hour is true. O Allah, to You alone have I submitted, in You have I believed, in You have I placed my trust, with Your help alone have I contended (with the enemy), and to You have I brought my case for judgment. So forgive me all that I did before and all that I did after, all that I did in secret and all that I did openly, and You know them better than I do. You alone are the One who brings forward and You alone are the One who holds back. There is no true god but You."
