Authentic
Supplications of the Prophet 
Remembrance of Allah at Both Ends
of the Day (17) |
The Prophet
used to say as he would enter upon evening: "'Amsaynã
wa 'amsal-mulku lil-lãhi, wal-hamdu lil-lãhi,
lã 'ilãha 'illa 'allãhu wahdahu
lã shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu,
wahuwa `alã kulli shay'in qadeerun, rabbi 'as'aluka
khayra mã fee hãthihil-laylati, wa khayra
mã ba`daha, wa 'a`outhu bika min sharri mã
fee hãthihil laylati, wa sharri mã ba`daha,
rabbi 'a`outhu bika min 'al kasali wa soo'il kibari,
rabbi 'a`outhu bika min `athãbin fin-nãri,
wa `athãbin fil-qabri(32)
When
he would enter upon morning he would say that also:
"Asbahnã wa Asbahal mulku lil-lãhi...(33)

(32)
We have entered upon night, the Kingdom has passed
unto Allah this night, and All praise be to Allah.
There is no 'ilãh except Allah alone, no partner
does He have. His is The Kingdom and to Him is All
Praise, and He is well able to do everything, My Lord
I ask you the good of what is in this night and the
good of what follows it, and solicit Thy protection
against the evil of this night and the evil of what
follows it. O Allah! I seek Thy protection against
laziness and the wretchedness of old-age. I seek Thy
protection against the torment in Hell and the torment
in the grave.
(33)
We have entered upon morning, and the Kingdom has
passed unto Allah this morning ... Note: The Kingdom
passes unto Allah Night after Morning, and Morning
after Night, day after day after day. Meaning that
it is always Allah's.
