It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Salih (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Banu Aslam relates that he was bitten. When he informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you had recited this supplication in the evening: "A‘udhu bikalimatillahi-t-tammati min sharri ma khalaq" (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created), then it would not have harmed you. Suhail says: When any of us was bitten, my father would ask him: Did you recite that supplication? If he replied in the affirmative, it seemed that my father believed that it would not harm him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever recites this dhikr in the morning or evening: "O Allah! You are my Lord, there is no true deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I am, as much as I am able, steadfast upon the covenant and promise I made to You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favor upon me and I confess my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You." Then, if he dies that day or night, he will enter Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The chief of supplications for seeking forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar) is this: "O Allah! You are my Lord, there is no deity except You. You created me, … … so forgive me, for surely none forgives sins except You." (O Allah! You are my Lord, there is no true deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I am, as much as I am able, steadfast upon the covenant and promise I made to You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favor upon me and I confess my sins to You, so forgive me, for surely none forgives sins except You.) Whoever recites this supplication in the morning with firm belief and then dies during that day, he will be among the people of Paradise. And whoever recites it in the evening with firm belief and then dies during that night, he will be among the people of Paradise.

It is narrated from Abu Salam, he says: We were sitting in the mosque of Homs when a man passed by. The people said: This man has served the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Upon hearing this, I got up and said to him: Narrate to me a hadith which you have heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and between you and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, there is no intermediary. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever in the morning and evening three times recites this remembrance: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as my Prophet," then it becomes incumbent upon Allah to please him on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abza (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the morning and evening, he would recite this supplication: "We have entered the morning upon the natural disposition of Islam, upon the word of sincerity, upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and upon the way of our father Ibrahim, upright and a Muslim, and he was not among the polytheists." (We have entered the morning upon the nature of Islam, upon the word of sincerity, upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), upon the way of our father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), who was upright, a Muslim, and was not among the polytheists.)

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Qasim, he says: A neighbor of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that she used to hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this supplication at the time of dawn: "O Allah!

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the evening, he would recite this supplication:“We have entered the evening and the dominion has entered the evening belonging to Allah, and all praise is for Allah. There is no deity except Allah alone, He has no partner.”
