It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer at night and begin his prayer, he would say Allahu Akbar and recite this supplication: Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika tabaarakasmuka wa ta'ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghayruk. Then he would say La ilaha illallah three times, then recite: A'udhu billahi as-sami'il 'aleem min ash-shaytanir-rajim min hamzihi wa nafkhihi. Then he would say Allahu Akbar three times and then recite: A'udhu billahi as-sami'il 'aleem min ash-shaytanir-rajim min hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafathihi.

Translation of the supplications: O Allah! You are pure and with Your praise, blessed is Your name, exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity except You. There is no true deity except Allah. I seek refuge with Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Satan and from his madness and arrogance. Allah is the Greatest. I seek refuge with Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the accursed Satan and from his madness, his arrogance, and his poetry.
