Abdur Rahman bin Abzi narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Abzi (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the morning, he would say: “«أَصْبَحْنَاعَلَيٰفِطْرَةِالْإِسْلَامِ . . . . . . مُسْلِمًا» (Translation) We have entered the morning upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of sincerity, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the way of our father Abraham, who was upright and a Muslim.”
