Abu Hurayra said, "In the morning, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would say, 'O Allah, We enter the morning by You and we enter the evening by You. We live by You and we die by You and to You is gathering.' In the evening, he would say, 'O Allah, we enter the evening by You and we enter the morning by You and we live by You and we die by You and to You is the return.'"

'O Allah, I ask you for well-being in this world and theNext. O Allah, I ask you for forgiveness and well-being in my deen andin this world and in my family and my property. O Allah, veil my faultsand calm my fears. O Allah, give me protection in front of me and behindme, on my right and my left and above me. I seek refuge by Your might frombeing overwhelmed from under me.'"

Maymuna, the wife of the Prophet, said, "I heard Anas ibn Malik say that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Whoever says in the morning, "O Allah, we bear witness to you and we bear witness to the bearers of You Throne and Your angels and all Your creation. You are Allah. There is no god but You alone with no partner and Muhammad is your slave and Messenger", by that Allah will free a quarter of him from the Fire on that day. If someone says it twice, Allah will free half of him from the Fire. If he says it four times, Allah will free him completely from the Fire on that day.'"

Abu Hurayra reported that Abu Bakr said, "Messenger of Allah, teach me something that I can say morning and evening." The Prophet said, "O Allah, Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, Creator of the heavens and the earth, everything is in Your hands. I testify that there is no god but You. I seek refuge with You from the evil of myself and the evil of shaytan and his (encouragement to) associate others (with You)." Say it in the morning and the evening and when you go to sleep."

A similar report from Abu Hurayra in which he said, "The Lord of everything and its Master." He said, "The evil of shaytan and his encouragement to associate."

'Abu Bakr as-Siddiq asked the Prophet,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Messenger of Allah, teach mewhat to say in the mornings and evenings." He said, "Abu Bakr, say, 'OAllah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Knower of the Unseenand Visible. the Lord of all things and their Master. I seek refuge withYou from the evil of shaytan and his encouragement to associate and thatI bring evil on myself or bring it on another Muslim.'"'"
