O Allah! Indeed, I have entered…

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَصْبَحْتُ¹ اُشْهِدُكَ وَاُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَمَلٰٓئِكَتَكَ وَجَمِيْعَ خَلْقِكَ اَنَّكَ اَنْتَ اللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّآ اَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ وَاَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ²

O Allah! Indeed, I have entered the morning in such a state that I call You, the angels who carry Your Throne, Your (other) angels and all Your creation to witness that You are Allah; there is no deity except You, You are alone and have no partner, and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is Your servant and Your Messenger.

Recite these words four times³

1. 1

   In the evening, say “اِنِّيْٓ اَمْسَيْتُ” in place of the underlined words.

2. 2

   Da'eef, Sunan Abi Dawud, no. (5078), the wording is his, Sunan at-Tirmidhi, no. (3501), and al-Albani graded it Da'eef in “ad-Da'ifah” no. (1041).

   Some calling it “Hasan” is wrong, because in its chain “Muslim bin Ziyad” is unknown, so this chain is weak, as Allamah al-Albani (RH) said; see: ad-Da'ifah, no. (1041).

3. 3

   Da'eef, Sunan Abi Dawud, no. (5069) and no. (5078), al-Adab al-Mufrad of al-Bukhari, no. (1201), and al-Albani graded it Da'eef in “ad-Da'ifah” no. (1041).

   In its chain “Abd ar-Rahman bin Abd al-Majid” is not known and “Muslim bin Ziyad” is unknown.
