Context

WE RELATE FROM the book of Ibn as-Sunnī with a weak isnād from Abū Sa‘īd al-Khudrī Honorific symbol who reported that when the sun rose the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol used to say: “Praise be to Allah, Who has covered us today with well-being from Him and brought the sun from its rising-place. O Allah, I have woken up bearing witness to You with what You bear witness to Yourself, and what Your angels, the bearers of Your Throne, and all Your Creation bear witness to. Verily You are Allah. There is no god but You, Upright in justice. There is no god but You, the Mighty, the Wise. Write down my testimony after the testimony of the angels and the people of knowledge. O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace and to You does peace return. I ask You, the Owner of majesty, bounty and honour, to answer our prayer, to grant us what we wish for, and to favour us with that with which You have favoured Your Creation. O Allah, correct for me my religion, in which is the preservation of my affairs, and improve for me my worldly life, in which is my existence, and improve for me my Hereafter, to which is my return.” [1].
