عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللّهِ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَمْسَى قَالَ: «أَمْسَيْنَا وأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ للّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للّهِ، لا إِلَـٰهَ إِلّا اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ» قَالَ الرَّوِاي: أُرَاهُ قَالَ فِيهِنَّ: «لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ، وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ، وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ» وَإِذَا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا: «أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ للّهِ» رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the evening he would say: "We have reached the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner." The narrator said: I think he said among them: "To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things omnipotent. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age. I seek refuge in You from a punishment in the Fire and a punishment in the grave." And when he reached the morning he would say that likewise: "We have reached the morning and the dominion belongs to Allah." Reported by Muslim.
