Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Shariq al-Hawzani and I came to Aishah (Allah be pleased with her) and asked her: By which (prayer) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began when he woke up at night?

When he woke up at night, he uttered: "Allah is Most Great" ten times, and uttered "Praise be to Allah" ten times, and said "Glory be to Allah and I begin with His praise" ten times, and said: "Glory be to the King, the Most Holy" ten times, and asked Allah's pardon ten times, and said: "There is no god but Allah" ten times, and then said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from the strait of the Day of resurrection, " ten times. He then began the prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ جُعْثُمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْأَزْهَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَازِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيقٌ الْهَوْزَنِيُّ ، قَالَ : "
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، فَسَأَلْتُهَا بِمَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْتَتِحُ إِذَا هَبَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ؟ , فَقَالَتْ : لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكَ , كَانَ إِذَا هَبَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ كَبَّرَ عَشْرًا وَحَمَّدَ عَشْرًا ، وَقَالَ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَشْرًا ، وَقَالَ : سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ عَشْرًا ، وَاسْتَغْفَرَ عَشْرًا ، وَهَلَّلَ عَشْرًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضِيقِ الدُّنْيَا ، وَضِيقِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ عَشْرًا ، ثُمَّ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ
