Introduction

All praise is due to Allah the Lord of all the worlds (of mankind, the angels
and the jinn), may Allah send His prayers, peace and blessings upon His
trustworthy servant, the one sent with truth, the mercy to mankind, as well as
his family, companions and those who follow his methodology and who
establish it until the Day of Judgment.

To begin: This, my noble Muslim brother and sister, is a collection of several
morning and evening supplications written by his eminence, the A laamah,
ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen-may Allah grant him
boundless mercy and elevate him amongst the rightly-guided righteous
servants who direct the people to the correct guidance and reward him the
best of goodness for his grave concern for the Ummah of Islaam, he was a
reforming scholar in his inviting to the Religion (Islaam).

Originally this treatise was written by his own hand (may Allah have mercy
upon him) and given as a gift by the muadhin (the one who calls the Muslims
to the five daily prayers) of the Shaykh from the grand mosque in Unayzah
the noble brother Abdur-Rahmaan bin Muhammad ar-Rays (may Allah
reward him with good), to his eminence my father (may Allah protect him). I
was then fortunate enough to receive it several days after the passing of the
Shaykh. I was filled with great joy when I had obtained it so I sought Allahs
assistance and began to add the reference points for the Quranic verses and
Prophetic narrations in the completed form (that is before you), so I ask Allah
Most High to accept it sincerely and correctly. This is considered one of the
first works of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy upon him) that was collected
after his death and my collaboration of it was by way of the following
methods:

Firstly: I based it on the chains of narrations and that was by tracing them
back to some of their references but I did not go into great detail (for each
narration associated with the supplication) fearing a lengthy treatise.

Secondly: I strove to check the authenticity of these supplications to the best
of my ability, and I did not just rely on their authenticity alone but I also
mentioned their source. I also tried to mention the source of these
supplications that are found in the books of the people of knowledge such as
UprightBooks.com The Precious Remembrance 2
Imam an-Nawawees al-A dhkaar and Ibn as-Sunees A malul-Yawmi wal-Laylah,
etc.

And perhaps the supplications contained herein whether it be two or more
not reaching the level of being authentic fall under the category that the
Shaykh (may Allah have mercy upon him) mentioned in his treatise entitled:
M ustalahul-H adeeth page 12 printed by the University of Muhammad bin
Saood whereas he said:

So it has been clearly mentioned, meaning the weak narration, by a group of
the People of Knowledge to have three conditions:

First: That it is not extremely weak.

Second: That the basis of the action that is mentioned in the weak
narration establishes encouragement and admonition.

Third: That it is not believed that the Prophet actually said it.

So based on this the benefit in mentioning (the weak narration) that contains
encouragement will impel the soul to do the encouraged deed hoping to
obtain by that the reward for it, then if he obtains the reward it will not harm
his striving to worship nor will it deplete what was done from those things
that are commanded (by Allah and His Messenger ), while the benefit in
mentioning (the weak narration) that contains admonition is to avert the soul
from the horrific deed that causes one to fear falling into that (specific)
punishment

Thirdly: I mentioned the benefits and effects of each supplication to the best
of my ability observing brevity so as to compel and entice memorization of the
text and steadfastness upon reciting them.

Fourthly: In this introduction I have placed a picture of the actual
handwritten manuscript of these supplications penned by the Shaykh as you
see it on page 7.

I have entitled this treatise ((The Precious Remembrance written by Shaykh
Ibn Uthaymeen: A comprehensive collection of morning and evening
supplications)) and printed by the permission of Allah as an abridged pocket
brochure.

The noble reader will notice that these supplications the Shaykh (may Allah
have mercy upon him) wrote into a summarized treatise was not his everyday
norm whenever he wrote, rather what was known of him (may Allah have
mercy upon him) is that when he wrote a compilation he did so extensively
and in detail. And it seems that this writing was written urgently at the
request of one of his students, and he clarified this when he wrote at the end
of it (may Allah have mercy upon him): This is what was made easy to write
and I ask Allah Most High to cause it to be of benefit. And Allah knows best.

With that said I want to highlight some glimpses of the Shaykhs life (may
Allah have mercy upon him):

He is the eminent Shaykh, the A laamah Aboo Abdillah Muhammad bin
Saalih bin Uthaymeen al-Waheebee at-Tameemee. He was born in the city of
Unayzah on the 27
th
of Ramadhaan 1347 A.H. (Corresponding to March 9
th

1929 C.E.) He memorized the Noble Quraan under the tutelage of his
grandfather Abdur-Rahmaan bin Sulaymaan Aali Daamagh (may Allah have
mercy upon him) then he sought knowledge and became the pupil of ash-
Shaykh, al-A laamah Abdur-Rahmaan bin Sadee and his eminence ash-
Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah Most High have mercy upon them
both).

He began teaching in the main mosque in Unayzah in the year 1371 A.H.
then he assumed the imam position of the mosque after the death of his
teacher ash-Shaykh Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sadee. He also taught in the College
of Shareeah (Islamic Law) and Usool-ud-Deen (Study of the basic principles of
the Religion) in a branch of the University of Imam Muhammad bin Saood
located in al-Qaseem.

In addition to this he was a member of the Organization of Major Scholars of
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and also gave several Islamic courses in the Two
Sacred Mosques, and even participated in the Noble Quraan Radio Station.

The Shaykh left a vast amount of beneficial books and tapes and was always
eager in spreading knowledge and he continued upon this until the very last
days of his life, likewise the Shaykh was characterized with having noble
manners and being an imam of humility, being abstinent of materialistic
things, generous, pious and always striving to do good deeds aimed for the
hereafter and we regard him as he has been characterized and we do not
elevate anyone higher than Allah.

He died (may Allah have mercy upon him and grant him His spacious gardens
in paradise) on Wednesday the 15
th
of Shawaal, 1421 A.H. (Corresponding to
January 10
th
2001 C.E.) in the city of Jeddah and was buried in al-A dl
cemetery in Makkah al-Mukarramah next to his Shaykh, his eminence Abdul-
Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon them both).

So ending this introduction I have placed a list of titles of those books that
are filled with the Islamic supplications for the readers to further their
research:

Abdil-Muhsin al-Abaad al-Badr, and it is a book unique in its
approach, robust in its subject matter.

Shaykh Dr. Saeed bin Wahf al-Qahtaanee and it is a comprehensive
book containing much good.

11. A s-Saheeh-ul-M usnad Fee A dhkaar-il-Yawmi wal-Laylah by Shaykh

And there are other beneficial works concerning this topic.

And it has not slipped my mind after thanking Allah Most High that I thank
his eminence, ash-Shaykh Dr.Abdullah Saalih al-Uthaymeen, president of
the research committee that supervises the printing of Shaykh Muhammad
bin Saalih al-Uthaymeens works, for allowing me to print this treatise.
Thanks is also bound to ash-Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Muhammad as-Sadhaan,
ash-Shaykh Dr.Abdur-Razaaq bin Abdil-Muhsin al-Abaad al-Badr, and ash-
Shaykh Fahd bin Naasir as-Sulaymaan for reviewing the treatise and what they
brought to light of the good issues (concerning it), I have benefited from it
immensely, may Allah reward them with good on my behalf.

And with this I ask Allah Most High, exalted is His Majesty, that He make
this deed of mine purely for His Noble Face and that it is not made for
anyone else but Him and that He benefit me because of it during my life and
after my death and that He place it on the Shaykhs scale of good deeds, and
He extend its benefit for all the Muslims and that He reward my parents with
good on my behalf as they both were gracious towards me after Allah:

%u b> $yxq$# $yx. $u/u #Z|

My Lord forgive them both as they raised me when I was small. {Soorat-ul-
Israa: 24}

And may Allahs peace and blessing be upon Muhammad, his family and all
of his companions.

Alif Laam Meem This is the Book that contains no doubt, guidance for
those who fear Allah. Those who believe in the unseen, who establish the

who believe in what was revealed to you and what was revealed to those

that he said: Whoever recites ten verses from Soorat-ul-
Baqarah at night time the shaytaan will not enter the house that evening until
the morning, (also) the first four verses of Soorat-ul-Baqarah, A ayat-ul-Kursee and
the two verses after it, in addition to the three last verses of Soorat-ul-Baqarah
beginning with: {To Allah belongs what is in the heavens} And in another
narration: shaytaan or anything he dislikes will not come near him nor his
family that day, and it is not recited over a mentally ill person except that he

will recover from his illness. At-Tabaraanee related it in his Kabeer as #8673,
and al-Haythamee said in his M ajma (#17014): The men of this narration
are the narrators of the Saheeh except that ash-Shabee did not hear directly
from Ibn Masoud.

Allah none has the right to be worshipped but Him, the Ever Living the
One Who sustains and protects all that exists, He is not overtaken by
slumber or sleep, to Him belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.
Who is the one who can intercede for another except by His permission? He
knows what will happen to them and what will happen to them in the next
life. Nothing can encompass His knowledge unless He desires. His foot stool
extends over the heavens and the earth and He is not fatigued in protecting
what is in them both. Allah is the Most High, the Most Great. {Soorat-ul-
Baqarah: 255}

(2) And it is a protection against the jinn as it was related by Ubayy bin Kab-
(may Allah be pleased with him) who had a vessel of dates that was decreasing,
so one night he decided to stand guard over it when a creature resembling a
teenage boy approached him and gave the salaams. So when he returned the
salaams to him he asked, Are you a jinn or a human? He replied, I am a
jinn. So Ubayy said, Hold out your hand to me. So he held out his hand to
him and saw that his hand was that of a dogs paw and his hair was dogs fur!
Ubayy asked him, "Do all the jinn look like this?" He said, "I know no one
among the jinn who is stronger than I." Ubayy then said, "What made you do
what you did?" He said, "We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and
we wanted to have a portion of your food." Ubayy asked him, "What will
protect us from you?" He said, The verse that is in Soorat-ul-Baqarah {Allah
there is nothing worthy of worship except for Him, the Ever Living the One
Who sustains and protects all that exists}, whoever recites it in the evening
will be protected from us until the morning, and whoever recites it in the
morning will be protected from us until the evening. So when it was dawn
the Messenger of Allah came and I mentioned to him what that jinn had
informed me of, he replied, The Filthy one has spoken the truth. It was
related by at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer (#541) with a good chain of transmission
with its own wording, al-Mundhiree also related the text in at-T argheeb (#662),
Ibn Hibaan related it in his Saheeh (#784), al-Haythamee mentioned it in al-
M ajma (#17012) saying: Its men (of narration) are all reliable, and Shaykh al-
Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) authenticated it in at-T argheeb
(#662).

The meaning of his statement: ((resembling a teenage boy)) is a boy having
reached the age of maturity. And his statement: ((will be protected from us))
means that he will be saved from us and distanced from our mischief and evil.

And it is the cause for Allah to protect his servant as it was related by al-
Bukharee in the narration of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)
when he said: He (regarding the narration of the dates of sadaqah) said to me,
When you retire to your bed then recite the A ayat-ul-Kursee from the
beginning to end. And he also said to me, Allah will continue to be a
Protector for you and the shaytaan will not come near you until the
morning. The Prophet said, as for this person then he has informed
you of something true but he himself is a liar, do you know who was
addressing you for the past three nights Aboo Hurayrah? He said, No. He
responded, That was Shaytaan. Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh
(#2311).

And it causes one to enter Paradise by the Mercy of Allah. He said,
Whoever recites A ayat-ul-Kursee at the completion of every prescribed prayer
will have be nothing standing between him and his entering the Paradise
except for death. Related by an-Nisaaee in al-Kubraa (#9928), Ibn as-Sunee in
A malul-Yawmi wa Laylah (#124) and it was authenticated by al-Albaanee in
Saheeh-ul-Jaami (#6464) and Silsalatus-Saheehah (#982).

Added Benefit: Ibnul-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said in al-
W aabil-us-Sayeeb page 249: It reached me from Shaykh-ul-Islaam Ibn
Taymeeyah that he said: I have not left off reciting it (A ayat-ul-Kursee) after
every prescribed prayer unless forgetfully or for any other similar reason.

And it is the greatest verse in the Book of Allah as he confirmed in
Saheeh M uslim (#810).

The Messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as well
as the believers, All of them believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His
messengers. They say: We do not differentiate between any one of the
Messengers, and they say: We hear and we obey, We seek your forgiveness
our Lord and to You we will return. Allah does not burden anyone beyond
their ability. He is rewarded for the good that he has earned and is
punished for that evil that he has earned. Our Lord do not punish us if we
are forgetful or fall into error! Our Lord do not place a burden on us like
that which you placed on those before us! Our Lord place not on us a
burden that we cannot endure, pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have
mercy upon us, You are our Protector, and give us victory over the
disbelieving people. {Soorat-ul-Baqarah: 285-286}

(3) Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh #5009 and Muslim #807, #808 and
in Bukhaaree is the following from Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with
him) who narrated: The Prophet said: Whoever recites the last two
verses of Soorat-ul-Baqarah in the night it will suffice him (in protection). And
al-Haafith Ibn Hajr (may Allah have mercy upon him) related in al-Fath (9/ 71)
a number of statements concerning his statement ((it will suffice him)), and
I mention some of these statements that he spoke of saying, It is said that it
means he will be protected from every evil, and it is said that he will be
protected from the evil of shaytaan, and it is said that he will be defended
from the evil of man and of the jinn. And Ibn-ul-Qayyim (may Allah have
mercy upon him) said in al-W aabil-us-Sayeeb page 205, The correct meaning is
that he will be protected from the evil of that which will cause him harm.

Haa Meem. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the
All-Knowing. The One Who forgives sins, the Acceptor of repentance, the
One Who is severe in punishment, the One Who bestows favor, None has
the right to be worshipped except for Him, to Him is our final destination.
{Soorat-ul-Ghaafir: 1-3}

(4) Perhaps he (Shaykh Uthaymeen) (may Allah have mercy upon him) is
pointing out what was related by Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy upon
him) in his T afseer to Soorat-ul-Ghaafir (7/ 166) printed by Dar-ul-Fath, from al-
Bazaar with the chain of transmission coming from the narration of Aboo
Hurayrah (may Allah have mercy upon him) who said: The Messenger of
Allah said: Whoever recites A ayat-ul-Kursee and the first portion of Soorah
H a M eem, the believer will be protected that day from every evil. Then al-
Bazaar said, I do not know it to be related by any other chain of transmission
except for this one. And it was related by at-Tirmidhee from the narration of
al-Mulaykee who said, Some of the people of knowledge have spoke
concerning it (the narrative) before it was preserved. And Shaykh al-Albaanee
(may Allah have mercy upon him) declared it weak in Dhaeef-ut-T irmidhee

He is Allah beside whom none has the right to be worshipped but Him,

Glory be to Allah! High is He above all that they associate as partners with
Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of
forms. To Him belong the Best of Names. All that is in the heavens and on
the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise. {Soorat-ul-H ashr:
23-24}

pointing out what was related by Imaam at-Tirmidhee (may Allah have mercy
upon him) (#2922) from Maqal bin Yasaar from the Prophet when he
said: Whoever recites; I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-
Knowning from the accursed Shaytaan, three times, then he recites the last
three verses of Soorat-ul-H ashr, Allah will appoint seventy thousand angels to
pray over him until the evening and if he should die on that day he will pass
as a martyr, and whoever recites it in the evening he will be in that same
position. Imaam at-Tirmidhee said: This narration is ghareeb (the narration
which at some stage is narrated only by a single narrator-either in every stage
of the chain of transmission, or at a single point.
2
) We do not know of it
except from this aspect.

Hadeeth by Dr. Mahmood at-Tahhaan Page 5.
And adh-Dhahabee said in al-M izaan (#2436): At-Tirmidhee did not grade it
as H asan
3
and it is a narration that is ghareeb jiddan (the narration which at
some stage is narrated only by a single narrator-either in every stage of the
chain of transmission, or at a single point).

Its weakness is due to Khaalid bin Tahmaan. Adh-Dhahabee mentions in his
biography: Khaalid bin Tahmaan Abool-Alaa al-Koofee from Anas and
Husayn bin Maalik and from him Aboo Nuaym and al-Firyaabee is
considered trustworthy but Ibn Maeen considered him to be weak in
narrating saying: He became senile ten years before he passed away but before
that he was considered trustworthy, and his senility would occur whenever he
recited (the Prophetic narrations) and he was declared weak in narrating by a
number of M uhaqiqeen (those Scholars who verify texts) from the
M uhadditheen (the Scholars of the Prophetic narrations) such as al-Alaamah al-
Albaanee (rahimahullah) in Dhaeef-ut-T irmidhee (#2922).

(6) Reciting it in the morning and evening is a major cause for one to be

(Soorat-ul-Falaq and Soorat-un-N aas) when you enter upon evening and when
you enter upon the morning three times each and it will suffice you from
every thing. It was related by Aboo Daawud (#5082) with its wording and by
at-Tirmidhee (#3575) and al-A laamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon
him) graded it as being H asan in T uhfat-ul-A khyaar.

Supplication Seven

I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from every evil that He has
created. (Recite three times)

(7) Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the
Prophet : Whoever recites in the evening three times; I seek protection in
the perfect words of Allah from every evil that He has created, then not so
much as a stinger (humah) will harm him that evening. In Muslim there is a
similar wording without mention of reciting the supplication thrice (#2709)
and at-Tirmidhee (#3898), and al-A laamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy
upon him) mentioned it in T uhfat-ul-A khyaar, saying: The noun al-H umah
denotes an animal that possess a stinger filled with poison like a scorpion,
snake or something similar. And Suhayl bin Saalih who is one of the narrators
of this narration said: Our people had learned this supplication and we used
to recite it every evening when a teenage girl was stung but suffered no pain or
affliction (from the sting).

Supplication Eight

In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing on the earth or in the
heavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Recite
three times)

(8) Related by Aboo Daawud (#5088) from Uthmaan bin Afaan (may Allah
be pleased with him), and its wording is: I heard the Messenger of Allah
say: Whoever says three times; In the name of Allah, with Whose Name
nothing on the earth or in the heavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing,
the All-Knowing, he will not be afflicted with an unexpected affliction until
he reaches the morning, and whoever recites it three times upon entering the
morning he will not be afflicted with an unexpected affliction until he reaches
the evening. Shaykh al-Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him)
authenticated it in Saheeh A bee Daawud (#5088).

And it was narrated by Abaan bin Uthmaan said: I heard Uthmaan bin
Afaan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said:
There is not a slave who recites three times in the morning of every day and
in the evening of every night; In the name of Allah, with Whose name
nothing on the earth or in the heavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing,
the All-Knowing, and have anything harm him.

And Abaan had been afflicted with a bout of paralysis when a man began
staring at him so Abaan said to him, What are you staring at? Did I not
inform you of the narration however I had not recited the supplication the
day Allah carried out over me what is from His Divine Decree? Related by at-
Tirmidhee (#3388) and Ibn Maajah (#3869), at-Tirmidhee said: It is H asan
Saheeh and al-A laamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) agreed
with its grade in T uhfat-ul-A khyaar.

Supplication Nine

I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islaam as my religion and with
Muhammad as my prophet. (Recite three times)

(9) The Messenger of Allah : There is not a Muslim servant who recites
three times during the morning and evening: I am pleased with Allah as my
Lord, with Islaam as my religion and with Muhammad as my prophet, except
that rightfully Allah will be pleased with him on the Day of Judgement. As
related by Imaam Ahmad (#1867) Printed by ar-Risaalah under the supervision
of Dr. Abdullah at-Turkee, and in Aboo Daawud (#5072) and our Shaykh
Bin Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) has graded it to the level of being
H asan in T uhfat-ul-A khyaar.

And from Aboo Saeed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Prophet said: O Abaa Saeed, whoever is pleased with Allah as his Lord,
with Islaam as his religion and with Muhammad as his Prophet then the
Paradise will be obligatory for him to enter. Related by Muslim (#1884),
Aboo Daawud (#1529), and Ibn Baaz (may Allah be pleased with him)
mentioned it in at-T uhfath.

And from Ibn al-Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet

said: Imaan (Faith) is the food tasted by one who is pleased with Allah as
his Lord, Islaam as his religion and with Muhammad as his Prophet. Related
by Muslim (#34), at-Tirmidhee (#2623) and our Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah
be pleased with him) mentioned it in at-T uhfath.

Supplication Ten

We have entered upon the morning and the dominion belongs to Allah,
all the praise is for Allah, there is nothing worthy of worship except for
Allah, He is alone having no partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to
Him belongs the praise and He is Able to do all, Lord I ask you for the good
that is in this day and the good that will come after it, and I seek refuge in
You from the evil in this day and the evil that will come after it, Lord I seek
refuge in You from laziness, senility and the hardships of being old, and I
seek refuge in You from the punishment of the hellfire and the punishment
in the grave.

And in the evening you say:

We have entered upon the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah

And you say:

Lord we ask you for the good that is in this night etc exchanging the
phrase: We have entered upon the morning and in this day:

(10) Related by Imaam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy upon him) in al-
M usnad #4192and Muslim #2723. And the word (al-Haram) I did not find in
the sources of T akhreej-ul-H adeeth.

Supplication Eleven

O Allah because of You we have entered the morning and because of You
we have entered the evening, and because of You we live and we die and to
You will be the resurrection.

And in the evening one says:

O Allah because of You we have entered the evening and because of You
we have entered the morning, and because of You we die and we live and to
You will be our destination.

(11) Related by al-Bukhaaree in al-A dab-ul-M ufrad and Shaykh al-Albaanee
authenticated it as #1199, except that in the evening he would say: O Allah
because of You we have reached the evening and because of You we have
reached the morning and because of You we live and because of You we die
and unto You is the final destination. And it has similar wording with
Imaam Ahmad in al-M usnad as #8649, Aboo Daawud as #5068, at-Tirmidhee
as #4491, and Our Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) has
authenticated it in at-T uhfah.

Supplication Twelve

O Allah whatever blessing has come to me or anyone else from Your
creation this morning is from You Alone there is no partner with You in
that and to You is all praise and gratitude.

And in the evening one says:

What has come to me this eveningto the end of the supplication.

(12) The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever recites in the morning O
Allah whatever blessing has come to me or anyone else from Your creation
this morning is from You Alone there is no partner with You in that and to
You is all praise and gratitude, then he has conveyed gratitude that day, and
whoever recites the same in the evening he has conveyed gratitude for that
evening.

Related by Aboo Daawud (#5073) with this wording except that he did not
mention ((or anyone else from Your creation)) and this wording was related
by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh (#858) except that he (Ibn Hibbaan) did not
mention ((and whoever recites the same in the evening)) and it has been
rendered Hasan by the Alaamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him)
in its entirety in at-T uhfah.

Supplication Thirteen

O Allah I have entered upon morning because of a blessing from You and
due to Your Pardon and Covering, Complete Your Blessing upon me, Your
Pardon and Your Cover in this life and in the hereafter. (Recite three
times)


O Allah I have entered upon the evening to the end of the supplication.

pointing out what was related by Ibn Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him)
when he said: the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever recites the following
in the morning; O Allah I have entered upon morning because of a blessing
from You and due to Your Pardon and Covering, Complete Your blessing
upon me, Your Pardon and Your Cover in this life and in the hereafter
(Three times) in the morning and in the evening it will be a right from Allah
to complete His Blessing upon him. Imaam an-Nawawee mentioned it in al-
A dhkaar and traced it back to Ibn as-Sunees A malul-Yawmi wal-Laylah #55.
Supplication Fourteen

O Allah I seek your protection from anxiety and depression, and I seek
your protection from failure and procrastination, and I seek your
protection from cowardice and stinginess, I seek refuge in you from the
struggles of debt and from the subjugation of the people.

(14) Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh (#6363) form Anas-may Allah be
pleased with him-who said: I would serve the Messenger of Allah
whenever he would come out and I would hear him constantly reciting; O
Allah I seek your protection from anxiety and depression, and I seek your
protection from failure and procrastination, and I seek your protection from
cowardice and stinginess, I seek refuge in you from the struggles of debt and
from the subjugation of the people

Supplication Fifteen

O Allah I ask You wellness in this life and in the hereafter, O Allah I ask
You pardon and wellness in my religion, life, family and property, O Allah
hide my mistakes and make my fears peaceful. O Allah protect what is
between my hands, what is behind me, what is on my right and what is on
my left, what is above me, and I seek protection in Your Magnificence that I
am consumed by what is underneath me.

(15) Related by Imaam Ahmad as #4785, Aboo Daawud as #5074 and al-
Haakim authenticated it in his M ustadrak as #1945 and al-Alaamah Ibn Baaz-
may Allah have mercy upon him-in at-T uhfah. And the meaning of: ((that I
am consumed by what is underneath me)) means al-Khasf (shame).

Supplication Sixteen

O Allah You are my Lord there is nothing worthy of worship except for
You, You created me and I am your servant, I am upon Your covenant and
Your Promise to the best of my ability. I seek your protection from the evil
that I have done, I profess Your bounties upon me and I confess my sin to
You, so forgive me for no one forgives sins except You.

(16) It was related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh (#5947) and it is the master of
seeking forgiveness that which he said concerning it: Whoever recites it
in the daytime with full conviction when he recites it then dies that day before
entering upon the evening he will be from the People of Paradise, and
whoever recites in the evening with full conviction when he recites it then he
dies before entering upon the morning he will be from the People of
Paradise.

And it is appropriate to note a valuable book concerning this issue which
deals with the explanation of this tremendous narration entitled: N ataaijul-
A fkaari fee Sharhi H adeethil-Istighfaar ( The End Results of Contemplations
regarding the Prophetic narration of seeking Allahs forgiveness) written by as-
Safaareenee (may Allah have mercy upon him).
Supplication Seventeen

O Allah Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and
visible, the Lord of everything and its Possessor, I bear witness that nothing
is worthy of worship except for You, I seek Your protection from the evil
within me as well as the evil of the shaytaan and his shirk (association with
You), and that I harm myself or harm another Muslim.

(17) Related by Ahmad (#51, #63, #81, and #7961), al-Bukhaaree in (al-
A dabul-M ufrad) (#1202, #1204), and in the narrative of Imaam Ahmad #7961
from him where he said in the last part of the narration: Say it when
you have entered upon morning and when you have entered upon the
evening, and when you take to your bed. And it was authenticated by al-
Alaamah Ibn Baaz-may Allah have mercy upon him-in T uhfat-ul-A khyaar.

Supplication Eighteen

O Allah I have entered upon the morning I bear witness that You and the
Carriers of Your Throne bear witness, Your Angels, Your Prophets and all
of Your Creation bear witness that You, You are Allah and there is nothing
worthy of worship except for You and Muhammad is Your Servant and
Your Messenger.

O Allah I have entered upon the evening to the end of the supplication
below.

(18) Whoever recites it once Allah will free him from a fourth of the
hellfire, and whoever recites it twice then Allah will free him from half of the
hellfire, and whoever recites it three times then Allah will free him from three
fourths of the hellfire, and if he recites it four times then Allah will free him
from the hellfire completely. Related by Aboo Daawud (#5069) and al-
Bukhaaree in al-A dabul-M ufrad (#1201), and ash-Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin
Baaz-may Allah have mercy upon him-graded it as being H asan in T uhfat-ul-
A khyaar. And it was related by Ibn as-Sunee in A malul-Yawmi wal-Laylah (#52)
with a different wording and phrase: Your Angels and Your Prophets
(#70).

Supplication Nineteen

There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having no
partners, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is able
to do everything. (This is recited 100 times in the morning and in the
evening.)

(19) And from its bounties is what resulted from him
in the narration of
Abee Hurayrah-may Allah be pleased with him-that he said: Whoever
recites;
There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having
no partner, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is able
to do everything, one hundred times in the day it is as if he freed ten slaves
and one hundred good deeds will be written for him while one hundred bad
deeds will be erased, and he will be protected from the shaytaan that whole
day until the evening time and no one will come with anything superior than
what he brought except for the person who did more than him.

It was related by Ahmad in al-M usnad (#8008) and (#8873) and al-Bukhaaree
in his Saheeh (#3293) and M uslim (#2691).

And from its bounty is what the Messenger of Allah said:
Whoever
recites;
There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having
no partner, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is able
to do everything, reciting it ten times upon morning then one hundred good
deeds will be written for him while one hundred bad deeds will be erased, it
will be as if he freed one slave and he will be protected on that day until the
evening. And when the evening comes whoever recites the like of it he will be
given the same (as was mentioned above when said in the morning).

It was related by Imaam Ahmad in his M usnad (#7819) and graded as H asan
by our Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) in at-T uhfah.

Supplication Twenty

Sufficient for me is Allah there is nothing worthy of worship except for
Him, I place my trust in Him, He is the Lord of the mighty throne.
(Recited seven times)

(20) And its bounty is from what was related by Ibn as-Sunee in A malul-Yawmi
wal-Laylah (#71) from his statement said: Whoever recites seven times
every day upon entering the morning and upon entering the evening:
Sufficient for me is Allah there is nothing worthy of worship except for Him, I
place my trust in Him, He is the Lord of the mighty throne, Allah will suffice
him with all of his concerns from those affairs of the Dunyaa (the affairs of
this life) and the Hereafter. And it was authenticated by Shuayb and Abdul-
Qaadir al-Arnaaoot in T ahqeequ Zaadil-M aad (2/ 342).

Supplication Twenty One

Sufficient for me is Allah and sufficient is Allah for the one whom He has
heard supplicate there is no extent beyond Allah.

(21) It was related by Imaam Maalik in al-M uwataa in the Book of al-Qadr
narrative #9 from Maalik that it was transmitted that he said: All Praise is for
Allah the One Who created everything as it was befitting (to be created), the
One Who does not hasten anything He defers and determines, sufficient for
me is Allah and sufficient is Allah for the one whom He has heard supplicate
there is no extent beyond Allah.

And from Ibn as-Sunee in A malul-Yawmi wal-Laylah (#735) from Faatimah the
daughter of the Messenger of Allah

who said: the Messenger of Allah

taught me to recite the following supplication: Whenever you retire to your
bed then say all Praise is for Allah the Sufficient, free is Allah from any
imperfection the Most High, sufficient for me is Allah sufficiently, what He
wishes is decreed, Allah hears the one who calls on Him, there is no sanctuary
from Allah nor beyond Allah any refuge, I place my trust on Allah, my Lord
and your Lord.

There is not a living creature but He has grasp of its forelock. Verily, my
Lord is on the Straight Path (Siraat-ul-Mustaqeem). {Soorah H ood: 56}

And say: All the Praise and Gratitude is for Allah, Who has not begotten
a son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a
supporter. Magnify Him with all magnificence. {Soorat-ul-Israa: 111}

Then the Prophet said: There is not a Muslim who recites it before going
to sleep then upon sleeping the Shayaateen and vermin will not be able to
harm him. And Allah knows best of its authenticity.

Supplication Twenty Two

Glorified is Allah with His praise. (Recited 100 times in the morning or in
the evening or recited at both times.)

(22) And what has come in regards to its superiority when he said: and
whoever recites Subhaana A llah wa bihamdih (Free is Allah from any
imperfection and to Him is the Praise) one hundred times in a day his sins
will be wiped off even if they were like the foam of the sea. It was related by
Muslim in his Saheeh (#2691).

And his statement: Whoever recites upon morning and upon evening
Subhaana A llah wa bihamdih (Free is Allah from any imperfection and to Him
is the Praise) one hundred times no one will come on the Day of Judgment
with anything more superior than what he has brought except for one who
has recited the like of it or recited additional. It was related by Ahmad in al-
M usnad (#8835), M uslim (#2692) and at-T irmidhee (#3469).

Supplication Twenty Three

I seek forgiveness from Allah and to Him I repent. (To be recited 100
times.)

This is what was made easy to write and I ask Allah Most High to cause it to
be of benefit.

Written by Muhammad as-Saalih al-Uthaymeen in the 20
th
of Muharram
1418 A.H. (Corresponding to May 27
th
1997 C.E.)

(23) And that is what has been related by Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased
with him) when he said: The Messenger of Allah said: O People repent
to Allah for verily I repent to Allah a hundred times a day. As related by
M uslim #6859 and He said: and verily I seek forgiveness from Allah a
hundred times a day. As it was related by M uslim #6858.

This has been completed with the assistance of Allah and by His T awfeeq on
the 5
th
of Dhul-H ijjah in the year 1421 A.H. and all praise is for Allah the One
Who completed by His favor the good deeds.

Written by the one in need of his Lords forgiveness Naayf bin Mamdooh bin
Abdil-Azeez Aali Saood (may Allah forgive him, his parents, his children and
all of the muslims) in Riyaadh (may Allah protect it) 5/ 12/ 1421 A.H.
