مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1108 — when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ : « كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا قَامَ اللَّيْلَ اسْتَفْتَحَ صَلَاتَهُ فَكَبَّرَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : « سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ ، وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ ، ثَلَاثًا ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا ، ثَلَاثًا » أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ، مِنْ هَمْزِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ وَنَفْخِهِ » ، ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood (for Tahajjud) at night, he would begin the prayer with the takbir, then recite: 'Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdika, wa tabarakasmuka, wa ta'ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghayruka' (O Allah, You are glorified with Your praise, blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no god besides You). Then he would say three times 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah), and three times 'Allahu akbaru kabira' (Allah is the Greatest, greatly so). Then he would recite: 'A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim, min hamzihi wa nafthihi wa nafkhihi' (I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed, from his whispering (and madness), his blowing (that is, magic and vile poetry) and the pride (he instils)). After that he would begin the recitation.
