اَخْبَرَنَا یَحْیَیَ بْنُ آدَمَ، نَا سُفْیَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَیْجٍ، عَنْ سُلَیْمَانَ الْاَحْوَلِ، عَنْ طَاؤُوْسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: کَانَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ یَدْعُوْ اِذَا تَهَجَّدَ مِنَ اللَّیْلِ، یَقُوْلُ: اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، فَذَکَرَ مِثْلَهٗ سَوَاء .
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform Tahajjud, he would supplicate: "O Allah! All types of praise are for You alone." Then the narrator mentioned the hadith similar to the previous one.
