Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever recites this phrase ten times after the Fajr prayer: «لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد ، وهو على كل شيء قدير» ‘There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, sovereignty belongs to Him, all praise is for Him, and He is capable of all things,’ then Allah will write ten good deeds for him, forgive ten of his sins, raise him by ten degrees, and the reward of these words will be equal to freeing two slaves from among the descendants of Isma’il (peace be upon him). If he recites them in the evening in the same way, he will receive this reward, and these words will also protect him from Satan until the morning.”
