أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا قَامَ يَتَهَجَّدُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَحْوَلُ خَالُ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ طَاوُسًا يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَتَهَجَّدُ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، اللهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ، وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ "، أَوْ قَالَ: " لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ ". شَكَّ سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ: قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَزَادَ عَبْدُ الْكَرِيمِ أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ: " وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ " لَمْ يَقُلْهَا سُلَيْمَانُ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَغَيْرِهِ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ عَمْرٍو النَّاقِدِ وَغَيْرِهِ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at night, he would pray tahajjud.
(b) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) got up at night, he would pray tahajjud and say: 'Allahumma lakal-hamdu, anta nurus-samawati wal-ardi wa man fihinn' (O Allah! All praise is for You; You are the Light of the heavens, the earth and all that is in them). 'Wa lakal-hamdu, anta qayyimus-samawati wal-ardi wa man fihinn' (All praise is for You; You are the Sustainer of the heavens, the earth and all that is in them). 'Wa lakal-hamdu, anta malikus-samawati wal-ardi wa man fihinn, wa lakal-hamd' (All praise is for You; You are the King of the heavens, the earth and all that is in them, and all praise is for You). 'Antal-haqq, wa wa'dukal-haqq, wa liqa'uka haqq, wa qawluka haqq, wal-jannatu haqq, wan-naru haqq, wan-nabiyyuna haqq, wa Muhammadun (peace and blessings be upon him) haqq, was-sa'atu haqq' (You are the Truth, Your promise is true, Your word is true and meeting You is true; Paradise, Hell, the Hour, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and the prophets are all true). 'Allahumma laka aslamtu, wa bika amantu, wa 'alayka tawakkaltu, wa ilayka anabtu, wa bika khasamtu, wa ilayka hakamtu' (O Allah! To You I have submitted, in You I have believed, in You alone I place my trust, and to You I turn in humility; by You I dispute, and to You I refer for judgement). 'Faghfir li ma qaddamtu wa ma akhkhartu wa ma asrartu wa ma a'lantu' (Forgive me my earlier and later sins, and forgive all that I have committed in secret and openly). 'Antal-muqaddimu wa antal-mu'akhkhiru, la ilaha illa anta, aw la ilaha ghayruk' (You are the One who brings forward and You are the One who puts back; there is no god besides You, or he said: there is no god other than You (a difference in wording)).

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الصَّفَّارُ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى وَأَرْبَعِينَ وَثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا تَهَجَّدَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، اللهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ.
Tawus says that he heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed tahajjud at night, he would say: 'Allahumma lakal-hamdu, anta nurus-samawati wal-ard, wa lakal-hamdu, anta qayyimus-samawati wal-ardi wa man fihinn, antal-haqq, wa wa'dukal-haqq, wa qawlukal-haqq, wa liqa'uka haqq, wal-jannatu haqq, wan-naru haqq, wan-nabiyyuna haqq.

Praise is for You; You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. All praise is for You alone; You manage the heavens, the earth and all that is in them. You are the Truth, and Your promise, Your word and meeting You are true; Paradise, Hell and the prophets are also true. O Allah! I submit to You, I believe in You, in You I place my trust and to You I turn in humility; to You I bring my disputes and to You I refer for judgement. Forgive me all my earlier and later sins, and forgive all the sins I have committed in secret or openly. You alone are my God; I have no god besides You).
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْحَذَّاءُ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ الْقَصْرِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ، ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جُنَادَةُ بْنُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، غُفِرَ لَهُ "، أَوْ قَالَ: " فَدَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ، فَإِنْ هُوَ عَزَمَ فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى، قُبِلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ صَدَقَةَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ.
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wakes up at night and says: 'La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, subhanallah, walhamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He has power over all things. Glory be to Allah, all praise is for Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power to turn away from evil and no strength to do good except by Allah's enabling), and then says: 'Rabbighfir li' (My Lord! Forgive me), he is forgiven." Or he said: "Then he supplicates and his supplication is answered; and if he resolves, gets up, performs ablution and prays, his prayer is accepted."
