" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: مَا أَرَى رَجُلًا وُلدَ في الإِسْلاَمِ، أوْ أدْرَكَ عَقْلُهُ الإِسْلاَمَ يَبِيتُ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} ولَوْ تَعْلَمُون مَا هِىَ؟ إِنَّما أُعْطِيها نَبِيِّكمْ، مِنْ كنْزٍ تَحْتَ العَرْشٍ، وَلَمْ يُعْطَهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلَ نَبِيكّمْ، وَما بِتُّ لَيْلَةً قَطٌّ حَتَّى أَقْرَاهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ: أَقَرَأُهَا فِى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ العِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ وَفِى وَتْرِى، وَحِينَ آخُذُ مَضْجَعِى مِنْ فِرَاشِي ".

"From Ali, he said: I do not see a man who was born in Islam, or whose mind reached Islam, ever sleeping until he recites this verse: {Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence}. And if you knew what it is! It was given to your Prophet from a treasure beneath the Throne, and it was not given to anyone before your Prophet. I never spent a night without reciting it three times: I recite it in the two rak'ahs after the last 'Isha' and in my witr, and when I lie down on my bed."
