Context

And we relate from the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim from ‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd Honorific symbol who reported that when it became evening the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol used to say: “We have seen evening come and the Kingdom belongs to Allah this evening. Praise be to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone without partner.” The narrator said: I believe he said: “His is the kingdom and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O my Lord, I ask You for the good that is in this night and the good that comes after it. O my Lord, I ask Your protection from the evil that is in this night and the evil that comes after it. I seek Your protection from laziness, senility and the harm of old age. [Lord] I seek Your protection from punishment in Hell-Fire and punishment in the grave.” When he got up in the morning he also said: “We have seen morning come, and the Kingdom belongs to Allah this morning.” [12].
