Remembrance 21 from Chapter 51

Lā ilāha illa-llāh, Waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulk, wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.

And we relate from the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and Ibn Mājah with excellent isnāds from Abū ‘Ayyāsh—with a shīn—, who reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever says in the morning: There is no god but Allah. He is One and has no partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise, and He has power over all things will receive a reward like that given for freeing a slave who is of the progeny of Ismā‘īl, ten good deeds will be written for him, ten of his sins will be expunged, ten stages will be raised for him and it will be a protection for him from Shayṭān until the evening. If he says it in the evening, he will have the same until the morning.” ^[22].
