Allāhumma mā aṣbaḥa bī min ni‘matin fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka lak, fa-laka-l-ḥamd, wa laka-sh-shukr.
Context
We relate in the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd with a good isnād which he did not consider weak from ‘Abdallāh ibn Ghannām—with ghayn and a doubled nūn—al-Bayāḍī
, a Companion, who reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “If one says in the morning: ‘O Allah, all the favours that I have received in the morning are from You Alone; You have no partner. To You belong all praise and all thanks,’ then he has fulfilled the thanks [that are due] for that day. If he says it in the evening, then he has fulfilled the thanks [that are due] that night.” [19].
