Imam Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of ‘Ubaadah bin As-Saamit (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said:
مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي
أَوْ دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ
“Whoever happens to wake up in the night and says:
Laa Ilaaha Illallaah, wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul mulku walahulhamd, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer. Al-hamdulillah, wa Subhanallah, walaa ilaaha illallaah, wallahu akbar, wa laa hawla wala quwwata illa billah,
Then asks for forgiveness, or makes Du’a,
Allah will answer him. Then if he performs Wudu’ and prays, Allah will accept his prayer.”
قال الحافظ ابن حجر رحمه الله : لا ينبغي لمسلم بلغه هذا الحديث أن يتركه ، ليعلمْه أهله ويعملْ به
Ibn Hajar (ra) said: “No Muslim who has heard of this Hadeeth should neglect it. He should teach it to his family and act upon it.”
