The Prophet (PBUH)’s Night Worship and Recitations
Narrated by Lady Aisha (RA), the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would, upon waking for night prayer, repeat the following remembrances ten times:
The Prophet’s Night Remembrances and Supplications
- “Allahu Akbar”
- “Alhamdulillah”
- “SubhanAllah wa bihamdih”
- “Subhana al-Maliki al-Quddus”
- “Astaghfirullah”
- “La ilaha illallah”
After these remembrances, he would recite the following supplication in Arabic ten times:
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضِيقِ الدُّنْيَا وَضِيقِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the distress of this world and the distress of the Day of Resurrection.” (Abu Dawood, Adab, 101/5085)
These night remembrances and supplications were an important part of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) worship life and serve as an example for Muslims.
