At bedtime and at waking (6)

Sixth: Imam al-Sadiq (`a) is reported to have said: When one of you wakes up at night, he may say the following. If he does, Almighty Allah will say, “My servant has said the truth and has thanked Me.”

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلنَّبِيِّينَ

subhana allahi rabbi alnnabiyyina

All glory be to Allah the Lord of the prophets,

وَإِلٰهِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ

wa ilahi almursalina

the God of the messengers,

وَرَبِّ ٱلْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ

wa rabbi almustad`afina

and the Lord of the enfeebled ones.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي يُحْيِي ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ

walhamdu lillahi alladhi yuhyi almawta

All praise be to Allah Who gives life to the dead

وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadirun

and He has power over all things.
