Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to teach us this supplication as he taught us the suras of
the Qur'an:
'I seek refuge with You from the punishment of Hellfire, and
I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave. I seek refuge
with You from the trial of the Dajjal and the I seek refuge from the trials
of life and death. I seek refuge with You from the trial of the grave.'"
Ibn 'Abbas said, "I spent the night at the house of my aunt. Maymuna.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got up to answer
a call of nature and then washed his hands and face and slept. Then he
got up and took the water-skin and loosened its strap and then did a medium
sort of wudu' and no more but he did it adequately. Then he prayed. I stood
up and went slowly, not wanting him to see that I was observing him. I
did wudu'. Then he stood up to pray and I stood at his left. He took my
hand and brought me around to his right. His complete night prayer consisted
of twelve rak'ats. Then he lay down and went to sleep until he snored.
When he slept, he would snore. Bilal gave the adhan for the morning prayer
and he prayed without doing wudu'. One of his supplications was, 'O Allah,
put light in my heart and light in my hearing and light on my right and
light on my left and a light above me and a light behind me and a light
in front of me and a light behind him and make my light great.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسٌ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْخَلاَءَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْخُبْثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ.
Anas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, wanted to enter the lavatory, he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with
You from foulness and foul things.'"
