أَخْبَرَنَا عُصْمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ نَيْسَابُورِيٌّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَزْهَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِمَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِحُ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ؟ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ سَأَلَتْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ عَشْرًا وَيَحْمَدُ عَشْرًا وَيُسَبِّحُ عَشْرًا وَيُهَلِّلُ عَشْرًا وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ عَشْرًا وَيَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمَقَامِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

✧ I asked 'A'ishah, “With what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ begin his night prayer?” She said, “You have asked me about something no one asked me before you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the takbir ten times, praise Allah ten times, glorify Allah ten times, declare His oneness ten times, and seek forgiveness ten times, and then say: ‘O Allah, forgive me, guide me, provide for me, and grant me well-being. I seek refuge in Allah from the narrowness of the standing on the Day of Resurrection.’”
