حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ:
بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْتَتِحُ صَلَاتَهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ؟ قَالَتْ: كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ افْتَتَحَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جَبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ، اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ، فَإِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

✧ With what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin his prayer when he rose at night? She said: "When he rose at night, he would begin his prayer by saying: 'O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il, and Israfil, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You judge between Your servants concerning that in which they used to differ. Guide me to the truth in that which is disputed, for You guide whom You will to a straight path.'"
