There is no deity except Allah…

After the Maghrib prayer and the Fajr prayer, say these words ten times:

لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهٗ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهٗ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِ وَيُمِيْتُ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

There is no deity except Allah; He is alone and has no partner. His is the dominion and His is all praise. He alone gives life and causes death, and He has full power over all things.

1. Da'eef, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, no. (3474), and al-Albani graded it Da'eef, then graded it Hasan because of a supporting narration; see: “as-Sahihah” (6/354).

   This narration is weak because of severe inconsistency in its chain and text; see: [Tamam al-Minnah of al-Albani, page 229]. Allamah al-Albani (RH) had called it weak, but then he called a narration of at-Tabarani a supporting witness for it and declared it Hasan (as-Sahihah 6/354). But the fact is that this narration of at-Tabarani is also not fit to be a supporting witness, because firstly its wording is different, and secondly its chain has “Abu Ghalib Hazawwar al-Bahili”, who is severely criticised.
