Context
We relate from the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd that ‘Ā’ishah
also reported that when the Messenger of Allah
woke up at night he would say: “There is no god but You. Glory be to You, O Allah, and to You belongs all praise. I ask Your forgiveness for my sins and I ask You for Your Mercy. O Allah, increase me in knowledge, and do not lead my heart astray after You have guided me. Bestow on me Your Mercy, for You are the Ever-Bestowing One.” [7].
