Context
We relate in the book of Ibn as-Sunnī from ‘Ā’ishah
who reported that when the Messenger of Allah
woke up at night (ta‘ārra) he would say: “There is no god but You: Allah, the One, the All-Conquering, Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Mighty, the All-Forgiving.” [3].
