Hadith 24313

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zubayr al-Makki fromTawus al-Yamani from Abdullah ibn Abbas that the Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, when he rose forprayer in the middle of the night, "O Allah, praise belongs to You.You are the light of the heavens and the earth and praise belongstoYou.You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and praisebelongs to You. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth andwhoever is in them. You are the Truth, and Your words are true. Yourpromise is true, and the meeting with You is true. The Garden is trueand the Fire is true and the Hour is true. O Allah, I submit toYou andI accept You and I trust in You and I turn to You and I argue by Youand I summon toYou for judgement. Forgive me what I have sent beforeme and what I have left behind, what I have kept secret and what Ihave proclaimed, You are my god - there is no god but You."Allahumma laka'l-hamdu anta nuru's-samawati wa'l-ardi, wa laka'l-hamduanta qayamu's-Samawati wa'l-ardi, wa laka'l-hamdu antarabbu's-Samawati wa'l-ardi,wamanfihina.Anta'l-haqqu,waqawluka'lhaqqu,wa waduka'l-haqqu, wa liqa'uka haqqun, wa jannatu haqqun, wa naruhaqqun, wa sactu haqqun. Allahumma laka aslamtu, wa bikaamantu,waalayka tawakaltu, wa ilayka anabtu, wa bika khasamtu, wa ilaykahakamtu, fa'ghfirliy ma qadamtu wa akhartu wa asrartu, wa alantu. Antailahiy, la ilaha illa ant.
