Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Qiyam Al-Lail (The Night Prayer) and Voluntary Prayers During the Day

“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he got up and performed wudu, cleaned his teeth while reciting this verse until he finished: ‘Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.’ Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he went back and slept until I heard him breathing deeply. Then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth. Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he slept, then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth and prayed two rak’ahs and prayed witr with three rak’ahs.”

From the Prophet , that he used to say: “Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-qillati wal-faqri, wadh-dhillati wa a’udhu bika min azlima aw uzlam (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from want, poverty and humiliation, and I seek refuge with You from wronging others or being wronged.)”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast ‘Ashura’, and he ordered (others) to fast it too.”
