Remembrance 14 from Chapter 51
What to say in the morning and the evening
Arabic
Romanisation
Wa an naqtarifa sū’an ‘alā anfusinā aw najurrahu ilā muslim.
Context
We also relate something similar from the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd, in the narration of Abū Mālik al-Ash‘arī 
who related that people said: “Messenger of Allah 
, teach us some words to say in the morning and in the evening when we go to bed. . ..” He mentioned [what was said in the previous] hadith and added, after “his polytheism”: “Or that we should inflict evil upon ourselves or bring evil upon a Muslim.” [15].

[15] Abū Dāwūd (5083). Ibn Ḥajar states that this is a gharīb hadith reported by Abū Dāwūd, whose narrators are all trustworthy except for Muḥammad ibn Ismā‘īl ibn ‘Ayyāsh, who was deemed a weak narrator by Abū Dāwūd. Abū Ḥātim ar-Rāzī states that he did not hear anything from his father; however, this hadith has a shāhid narration (i.e. from a witness) reported by at-Tirmidhī (3526) from Abū Rashīd al-Ḥibrānī.
