أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ؟ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُفْتَتَحُ صَلَاتَهُ «اللهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ اللهُمَّ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ»

✧ I asked 'A'ishah, “With what did the Prophet ﷺ open the prayer?” She said, “When he arose at night, he would open his prayer with: ‘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. O Allah, guide me to the truth in what they differed over, for You guide whom You will to a straight path.’”
