It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer in the middle of the night, he would say:“O Allah! All praise is for You, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth, and all praise is for You, and You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth, and all praise is for You, and You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. You are the Truth, Your word is true, Your promise is true, meeting You is true, Paradise and Hell are true, the Hour is true. O Lord! I am obedient to Your command, and I have believed in You, and I have relied upon You, and I have turned towards You, and with Your help I have fought against the disbelievers, and I have made You the judge when there was a dispute. So forgive my past and future sins, my hidden and open sins. You are my God, there is no true god except You.”
