Introduction

All praise is due to Allah the Lord of all the worlds (of mankind, the angelsand the jinn), may Allah send His prayers, peace and blessings upon His

trustworthy servant, the one sent with truth, the mercy to mankind, as well ashis family, companions and those who follow his methodology and whoestablish it until the Day of Judgment.

To begin: This, my noble Muslim brother and sister, is a collection of several

morning and evening supplications written by his eminence, the Alaamah,

ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen-may Allah grant himboundless mercy and elevate him amongst the rightly-guided righteousservants who direct the people to the correct guidance and reward him the

best of goodness for his grave concern for the Ummah of Islaam, he was areforming scholar in his inviting to the Religion (Islaam).

Originally this treatise was written by his own hand (may Allah have mercy

upon him) and given as a gift by themuadhin (the one who calls the Muslimsto the five daily prayers) of the Shaykh from the grand mosque in Unayzahthe noble brother Abdur-Rahmaan bin Muhammad ar-Rays (may Allahreward him with good), to his eminence my father (may Allah protect him). Iwas then fortunate enough to receive it several days after the passing of the

Shaykh. I was filled with great joy when I had obtained it so I sought Allahsassistance and began to add the reference points for the Quranic verses andProphetic narrations in the completed form (that is before you), so I ask AllahMost High to accept it sincerely and correctly. This is considered one of thefirst works of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy upon him) that was collectedafter his death and my collaboration of it was by way of the followingmethods:

Firstly: I based it on the chains of narrations and that was by tracing them

back to some of their references but I did not go into great detail (for eachnarration associated with the supplication) fearing a lengthy treatise.

Secondly: I strove to check the authenticity of these supplications to the bestof my ability, and I did not just rely on their authenticity alone but I alsomentioned their source. I also tried to mention the source of thesesupplications that are found in the books of the people of knowledge such as

UprightBooks.com The Precious Remembrance2


4/44

Imam an-Nawawees al-Adhkaar and Ibn as-Sunees Amalul-Yawmi wal-Laylah,etc.

And perhaps the supplications contained herein whether it be two or more

not reaching the level of being authentic fall under the category that theShaykh (may Allah have mercy upon him) mentioned in his treatise entitled:

Mustalahul-Hadeeth page 12 printed by the University of Muhammad binSaood whereas he said:

So it has been clearly mentioned, meaning the weak narration, by a group of

the People of Knowledge to have three conditions:

First: That it is not extremely weak. Second: That the basis of the action that is mentioned in the weak

narration establishes encouragement and admonition.

Third: That it is not believed that the Prophet actually said it.So based on this the benefit in mentioning (the weak narration) that containsencouragement will impel the soul to do the encouraged deedhoping toobtain by that the reward for it,then if he obtains the reward it will not harm

his striving to worship nor will it deplete what was done from those thingsthat are commanded (by Allah and His Messenger ), while the benefit in

mentioning (the weak narration) that contains admonition is to avert the soulfrom the horrific deed that causes one to fear falling into that (specific)punishment

Thirdly: I mentioned the benefits and effects of each supplication to the bestof my ability observing brevity so as to compel and entice memorization of thetext and steadfastness upon reciting them.

Fourthly: In this introduction I have placed a picture of the actualhandwritten manuscript of these supplications penned by the Shaykh as yousee it on page 7.

I have entitled this treatise ((The Precious Remembrance written by ShaykhIbn Uthaymeen: A comprehensive collection of morning and evening



5/44

supplications)) and printed by the permission of Allah as an abridged pocketbrochure.

The noble reader will notice that these supplications the Shaykh (may Allah

have mercy upon him) wrote into a summarized treatise was not his everydaynorm whenever he wrote, rather what was known of him (may Allah havemercy upon him) is that when he wrote a compilation he did so extensivelyand in detail. And it seems that this writing was written urgently at therequest of one of his students, and he clarified this when he wrote at the endof it (may Allah have mercy upon him): This is what was made easy to writeand I ask Allah Most High to cause it to be of benefit. And Allah knows best.

With that said I want to highlight some glimpses of the Shaykhs life (may

Allah have mercy upon him):

He is the eminent Shaykh, the Alaamah Aboo Abdillah Muhammad binSaalih bin Uthaymeen al-Waheebee at-Tameemee. He was born in the city ofUnayzah on the 27th of Ramadhaan 1347 A.H. (Corresponding to March 9th1929 C.E.) He memorized the Noble Quraan under the tutelage of hisgrandfather Abdur-Rahmaan bin Sulaymaan Aali Daamagh (may Allah havemercy upon him) then he sought knowledge and became the pupil of ash-

Shaykh, al-Alaamah Abdur-Rahmaan bin Sadee and his eminence ash-

Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah Most High have mercy upon themboth).

He began teaching in the main mosque in Unayzah in the year 1371 A.H.then he assumed the imam position of the mosque after the death of histeacher ash-Shaykh Abdur-Rahmaan as-Sadee. He also taught in the College

ofShareeah (Islamic Law) and Usool-ud-Deen (Study of the basic principles ofthe Religion) in a branch of the University of Imam Muhammad bin Saoodlocated in al-Qaseem.

In addition to this he was a member of the Organization of Major Scholars ofthe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and also gave several Islamic courses in the TwoSacred Mosques, and even participated in the Noble Quraan Radio Station.

The Shaykh left a vast amount of beneficial books and tapes and was alwayseager in spreading knowledge and he continued upon this until the very last



6/44

days of his life, likewise the Shaykh was characterized with having noblemanners and being an imam of humility, being abstinent of materialisticthings, generous, pious and always striving to do good deeds aimed for thehereafterand we regard him as he has been characterized and we do not

elevate anyone higher than Allah.

He died (may Allah have mercy upon him and grant him His spacious gardensin paradise) on Wednesday the 15th of Shawaal, 1421 A.H. (Corresponding to

January 10th 2001 C.E.) in the city of Jeddah and was buried in al-Adlcemetery in Makkah al-Mukarramah next to his Shaykh, his eminence Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon them both).

So ending this introduction I have placed a list of titles of those books that

11.As-Saheeh-ul-Musnad Fee Adhkaar-il-Yawmi wal-Laylah by ShaykhMustafaa al-Adawee.

And there are other beneficial works concerning this topic.

And it has not slipped my mind after thanking Allah Most High that I thankhis eminence, ash-Shaykh Dr.Abdullah Saalih al-Uthaymeen, president ofthe research committee that supervises the printing of Shaykh Muhammad

bin Saalih al-Uthaymeens works, for allowing me to print this treatise.Thanks is also bound to ash-Shaykh Abdul-Azeez Muhammad as-Sadhaan,ash-Shaykh Dr.Abdur-Razaaq bin Abdil-Muhsin al-Abaad al-Badr, and ash-Shaykh Fahd bin Naasir as-Sulaymaan for reviewing the treatise and what theybrought to light of the good issues (concerning it), I have benefited from itimmensely, may Allah reward them with good on my behalf.

And with this I ask Allah Most High, exalted is His Majesty, that He makethis deed of mine purely for His Noble Face and that it is not made for

anyone else but Him and that He benefit me because of it during my life andafter my death and that He place it on the Shaykhs scale of good deeds, andHe extend its benefit for all the Muslims and that He reward my parents withgood on my behalf as they both were gracious towards me after Allah:

as being marfuoo1 that he said: Whoever recites ten verses from Soorat-ul-

Baqarahat night time the shaytaan will not enter the house that evening until

the morning, (also) the first four versesofSoorat-ul-Baqarah, Aayat-ul-Kurseeand

and al-Haythamee said in his Majma (#17014): The men of this narration

are the narrators of the Saheeh except that ash-Shabee did not hear directlyfrom Ibn Masoud.

Allah none has the right to be worshipped but Him, the Ever Living theOne Who sustains and protects all that exists, He is not overtaken byslumber or sleep, to Him belongs what is in the heavens and on the earth.Who is the one who can intercede for another except by His permission? Heknows what will happen to them and what will happen to them in the nextlife. Nothing can encompass His knowledge unless He desires.

Baqarah:255}

(2)And it is a protection against the jinnas it was related by Ubayy bin Kab-(may Allah be pleased with him) who had a vessel of dates that was decreasing,so one night he decided to stand guard over it when a creature resembling ateenage boy approached him and gave the salaams. So when he returned thesalaams to him he asked, Are you a jinn or a human? He replied, I am a

jinn.So Ubayy said, Hold out your hand to me. So he held out his hand tohim and saw that his hand was that of a dogs paw and his hair was dogs fur!Ubayy asked him, "Do all the jinn look like this?" He said, "I know no oneamong the jinn who is stronger than I." Ubayy then said, "What made you dowhat you did?" He said, "We heard that you are a man who loves charity, andwe wanted to have a portion of your food." Ubayy asked him, "What will

protect us from you?" He said, The verse that is inSoorat-ul-Baqarah{Allahthere is nothing worthy of worship except for Him, the Ever Living the OneWho sustains and protects all that exists}, whoever recites it in the eveningwill be protected from us until the morning, and whoever recites it in the

morning will be protected from us until the evening. So when it was dawnthe Messenger of Allah came and I mentioned to him what that jinn hadinformed me of, he replied, The Filthy one has spoken the truth. It was

related by at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer (#541) with a good chain of transmission

with its own wording, al-Mundhiree also related the text in at-Targheeb(#662),

Ibn Hibaan related it in hisSaheeh (#784), al-Haythamee mentioned it in al-

Majma (#17012) saying: Its men (of narration) are all reliable, and Shaykh al-

Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) authenticated it in at-Targheeb(#662).

The meaning of his statement: ((resembling a teenage boy)) is a boy havingreached the age of maturity. And his statement: ((will be protected from us))means that he will be saved from us and distanced from our mischief and evil.

And it is the cause for Allah to protect his servant as it was related by al-Bukharee in the narration of Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)when he said: He (regarding the narration of the dates of sadaqah) said to me,

When you retire to your bed then recite the Aayat-ul-Kursee from the

beginning to end. And he also said to me, Allah will continue to be aProtector for you and the shaytaan will not come near you until the

morning. The Prophet said, as for this person then he has informed

you of something true but he himself is a liar, do you know who wasaddressing you for the past three nights Aboo Hurayrah? He said, No. He

responded, That was Shaytaan. Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh(#2311).

And it causes one to enter Paradise by the Mercy of Allah. He said,

Whoever recitesAayat-ul-Kurseeat the completion of every prescribed prayerwill have be nothing standing between him and his entering the Paradise

except for death. Related by an-Nisaaee in al-Kubraa(#9928), Ibn as-Sunee in

Amalul-Yawmi wa Laylah (#124) and it was authenticated by al-Albaanee in

Saheeh-ul-Jaami (#6464) andSilsalatus-Saheehah(#982).



12/44

Added Benefit: Ibnul-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said in al-

Waabil-us-Sayeeb page 249: It reached me from Shaykh-ul-Islaam Ibn

Taymeeyah that he said: I have not left off reciting it (Aayat-ul-Kursee) afterevery prescribed prayer unless forgetfully or for any other similar reason.

And it is the greatest verse in the Book of Allah as he confirmed in

Saheeh Muslim(#810).

verses ofSoorat-ul-Baqarahin the night it will suffice him (in protection). And

al-Haafith Ibn Hajr (may Allah have mercy upon him) related in al-Fath(9/71)a number of statements concerning his statement ((it will suffice him)), andI mention some of these statements that he spoke of saying, It is said that itmeans he will be protected from every evil, and it is said that he will beprotected from the evil of shaytaan, and it is said that he will be defendedfrom the evil of man and of the jinn. And Ibn-ul-Qayyim (may Allah have

mercy upon him) said in al-Waabil-us-Sayeebpage 205, The correct meaning isthat he will be protected from the evil of that which will cause him harm.

(4) Perhaps he (Shaykh Uthaymeen) (may Allah have mercy upon him) ispointing out what was related by Ibn Katheer (may Allah have mercy upon

him) in hisTafseer to Soorat-ul-Ghaafir (7/166) printed byDar-ul-Fath, from al-Bazaar with the chain of transmission coming from the narration of AbooHurayrah (may Allah have mercy upon him) who said: The Messenger of

Allah said: Whoever recitesAayat-ul-Kurseeand the first portion ofSoorahHa Meem, the believer will be protected that day from every evil. Then al-Bazaar said, I do not know it to be related by any other chain of transmissionexcept for this one. And it was related by at-Tirmidhee from the narration ofal-Mulaykee who said, Some of the people of knowledge have spokeconcerning it (the narrative) before it was preserved. And Shaykh al-Albaanee

(5) Perhaps he (Shaykh Uthaymeen) (may Allah have mercy upon him) is

pointing out what was related by Imaam at-Tirmidhee (may Allah have mercyupon him) (#2922) from Maqal bin Yasaar from the Prophet when he

said: Whoever recites; I seek refuge in Allah, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowning from the accursed Shaytaan, three times, then he recites the last

three verses ofSoorat-ul-Hashr, Allah will appoint seventy thousand angels topray over him until the evening and if he should die on that day he will passas a martyr, and whoever recites it in the evening he will be in that same

position. Imaam at-Tirmidhee said: This narration isghareeb (the narrationwhich at some stage is narrated only by a single narrator-either in every stage

of the chain of transmission, or at a single point.2) We do not know of itexcept from this aspect.

15/44

And adh-Dhahabee said in al-Mizaan(#2436): At-Tirmidhee did not grade it

as Hasan3 and it is a narration that is ghareeb jiddan (the narration which atsome stage is narrated only by a single narrator-either in every stage of thechain of transmission, or at a single point).

Its weakness is due to Khaalid bin Tahmaan. Adh-Dhahabee mentions in hisbiography: Khaalid bin Tahmaan Abool-Alaa al-Koofee from Anas andHusayn bin Maalik and from him Aboo Nuaym and al-Firyaabee isconsidered trustworthy but Ibn Maeen considered him to be weak innarrating saying: He became senile ten years before he passed away but before

that he was considered trustworthy, and his senility would occur whenever herecited (the Prophetic narrations) and he was declared weak in narrating by a

number of Muhaqiqeen (those Scholars who verify texts) from the

Muhadditheen(the Scholars of the Prophetic narrations) such as al-Alaamah al-Albaanee (rahimahullah) in Dhaeef-ut-Tirmidhee(#2922).

(6) Reciting it in the morning and evening is a major cause for one to beprotected by Allah as it has been narrated by Abdullah bin Khubayb from his

father from the Messenger of Allah who said: Recite! I said, Messenger

of Allah, what should I recite? The Messenger of Allah said: ReciteQul

(Soorat-ul-Falaq and Soorat-un-Naas) when you enter upon evening and whenyou enter upon the morning three times each and it will suffice you fromevery thing. It was related by Aboo Daawud (#5082) with its wording and by

at-Tirmidhee (#3575) and al-Alaamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon

him) graded it as beingHasaninTuhfat-ul-Akhyaar.

Supplication Seven

I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from every evil that He hascreated.(Recite three times)

(7) Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the

Prophet : Whoever recites in the evening three times; I seek protection inthe perfect words of Allah from every evil that He has created, then not so

much as a stinger (humah) will harm him that evening. In Muslim there is asimilar wording without mention of reciting the supplication thrice (#2709)

and at-Tirmidhee (#3898), and al-Alaamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy

upon him) mentioned it inTuhfat-ul-Akhyaar, saying: The noun al-Humahdenotes an animal that possess a stinger filled with poison like a scorpion,

snake or something similar. And Suhayl bin Saalih who is one of the narratorsof this narration said: Our people had learned this supplication and we usedto recite it every evening when a teenage girl was stung but suffered no pain oraffliction (from the sting).

Supplication Eight

In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing on the earth or in theheavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Recitethree times)

(8)Related by Aboo Daawud (#5088) from Uthmaan bin Afaan (may Allah

be pleased with him), and its wording is: I heard the Messenger of Allahsay: Whoever says three times; In the name of Allah, with Whose Name

nothing on the earth or in the heavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing,the All-Knowing, he will not be afflicted with an unexpected affliction untilhe reaches the morning, and whoever recites it three times upon entering themorning he will not be afflicted with an unexpected affliction until he reachesthe evening. Shaykh al-Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him)

authenticated it in Saheeh Abee Daawud(#5088).

And it was narrated by Abaan bin Uthmaan said: I heard Uthmaan bin

Afaan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah said:

There is not a slave who recites three times in the morning of every day andin the evening of every night; In the name of Allah, with Whose namenothing on the earth or in the heavens can cause harm, He is the All-Hearing,the All-Knowing, and have anything harm him.

And Abaan had been afflicted with a bout of paralysis when a man beganstaring at him so Abaan said to him, What are you staring at? Did I notinform you of the narration however I had not recited the supplication theday Allah carried out over me what is from His Divine Decree? Related by at-

Tirmidhee (#3388) and Ibn Maajah (#3869), at-Tirmidhee said: It is HasanSaheeh and al-Alaamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) agreed

with its grade inTuhfat-ul-Akhyaar.

Supplication Nine

(11) Related by al-Bukhaaree in al-Adab-ul-Mufrad and Shaykh al-Albaaneeauthenticated it as #1199, except that in the evening he would say: O Allahbecause of You we have reached the evening and because of You we havereached the morning and because of You we live and because of You we dieand unto You is the final destination. And it has similar wording with

Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnadas #8649, Aboo Daawud as #5068, at-Tirmidheeas #4491, and Our Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) has

authenticated it in at-Tuhfah.

Supplication Twelve

O Allah whatever blessing has come to me or anyone else from Yourcreation this morning is from You Alone there is no partner with You inthat and to You is all praise and gratitude.

And in the evening one says:

What has come to me this eveningto the end of the supplication.

(12) The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever recites in the morning OAllah whatever blessing has come to me or anyone else from Your creationthis morning is from You Alone there is no partner with You in that and to

You is all praise and gratitude, then he has conveyed gratitude that day, andwhoever recites the same in the evening he has conveyed gratitude for thatevening.

Related by Aboo Daawud (#5073) with this wording except that he did notmention ((or anyone else from Your creation)) and this wording was related

by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh (#858) except that he (Ibn Hibbaan) did notmention ((and whoever recites the same in the evening)) and it has been

rendered Hasan by the Alaamah Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him)in its entirety in at-Tuhfah.

Supplication Thirteen

O Allah I have entered upon morning because of a blessing from You anddue to Your Pardon and Covering, Complete Your Blessing upon me, YourPardon and Your Cover in this life and in the hereafter. (Recite threetimes)


O Allah I have entered upon the eveningto the end of the supplication.

(13) Perhaps he (Shaykh Uthaymeen) (may Allah have mercy upon him) ispointing out what was related by Ibn Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him)

when he said: the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever recites the following

in the morning; O Allah I have entered upon morning because of a blessingfrom You and due to Your Pardon and Covering, Complete Your blessingupon me, Your Pardon and Your Cover in this life and in the hereafter

(Three times) in the morning and in the evening it will be a right from Allahto complete His Blessing upon him. Imaam an-Nawawee mentioned it in al-

Adhkaarand traced it back to Ibn as-SuneesAmalul-Yawmi wal-Laylah#55.



22/44

Supplication Fourteen

O Allah I seek your protection from anxiety and depression, and I seekyour protection from failure and procrastination, and I seek yourprotection from cowardice and stinginess, I seek refuge in you from thestruggles of debt and from the subjugation of the people.

(14) Related by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh (#6363) form Anas-may Allah be

pleased with him-who said: I would serve the Messenger of Allahwhenever he would come out and I would hear him constantly reciting; OAllah I seek your protection from anxiety and depression, and I seek yourprotection from failure and procrastination, and I seek your protection fromcowardice and stinginess, I seek refuge in you from the struggles of debt andfrom the subjugation of the people

Supplication Fifteen

O Allah I ask You wellness in this life and in the hereafter, O Allah I ask

You pardon and wellness in my religion, life, family and property, O Allahhide my mistakes and make my fears peaceful. O Allah protect what isbetween my hands, what is behind me, what is on my right and what is onmy left, what is above me, and I seek protection in Your Magnificence that Iam consumed by what is underneath me.



23/44

(15) Related by Imaam Ahmad as #4785, Aboo Daawud as #5074 and al-

Haakim authenticated it in hisMustadrakas #1945 and al-Alaamah Ibn Baaz-

may Allah have mercy upon him-in at-Tuhfah. And the meaning of: ((that I

am consumed by what is underneath me)) meansal-Khasf(shame).

Supplication Sixteen

O Allah You are my Lord there is nothing worthy of worship except forYou, You created me and I am your servant, I am upon Your covenant andYour Promise to the best of my ability. I seek your protection from the evilthat I have done, I profess Your bounties upon me and I confess my sin toYou, so forgive me for no one forgives sins except You.

(16)It was related by al-Bukhaaree in hisSaheeh(#5947) and it is the master of

seeking forgiveness that which he said concerning it: Whoever recites itin the daytime with full conviction when he recites it then dies that day before

entering upon the evening he will be from the People of Paradise, andwhoever recites in the evening with full conviction when he recites it then hedies before entering upon the morning he will be from the People ofParadise.

And it is appropriate to note a valuable book concerning this issue which

deals with the explanation of this tremendous narration entitled: Nataaijul-

Afkaari fee Sharhi Hadeethil-Istighfaar ( The End Results of Contemplationsregarding the Prophetic narration of seeking Allahs forgiveness) written by as-

Safaareenee (may Allah have mercy upon him).

Supplication Seventeen

(17) Related by Ahmad (#51, #63, #81, and #7961), al-Bukhaaree in (al-

Adabul-Mufrad) (#1202, #1204), and in the narrative of Imaam Ahmad #7961

from him where he said in the last part of the narration: Say it whenyou have entered upon morning and when you have entered upon theevening, and when you take to your bed. And it was authenticated by al-

Alaamah Ibn Baaz-may Allah have mercy upon him-inTuhfat-ul-Akhyaar.

Supplication Eighteen

O Allah I have entered upon the morning I bear witness that You and the

Carriers of Your Throne bear witness, Your Angels, Your Prophets and allof Your Creation bear witness that You, You are Allah and there is nothingworthy of worship except for You and Muhammad is Your Servant andYour Messenger.



25/44


O Allah I have entered upon the eveningto the end of the supplicationbelow.

(18) Whoever recites it once Allah will free him from a fourth of thehellfire, and whoever recites it twice then Allah will free him from half of thehellfire, and whoever recites it three times then Allah will free him from threefourths of the hellfire, and if he recites it four times then Allah will free himfrom the hellfire completely. Related by Aboo Daawud (#5069) and al-

Bukhaaree in al-Adabul-Mufrad (#1201), and ash-Shaykh Abdul-Azeez bin

Baaz-may Allah have mercy upon him-graded it as being Hasan inTuhfat-ul-Akhyaar. And it was related by Ibn as-Sunee in Amalul-Yawmi wal-Laylah(#52)with a different wording and phrase: Your Angels and Your Prophets(#70).

Supplication Nineteen

There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having nopartners, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is ableto do everything.(This is recited 100 times in the morning and in theevening.)

(19)And from its bounties is what resulted from him in the narration of

Abee Hurayrah-may Allah be pleased with him-that he said: Whoever

recites;There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having

no partner, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is ableto do everything, one hundred times in the day it is as if he freed ten slavesand one hundred good deeds will be written for him while one hundred baddeeds will be erased, and he will be protected from the shaytaan that whole



26/44

day until the evening time and no one will come with anything superior thanwhat he brought except for the person who did more than him.

It was related by Ahmad in al-Musnad(#8008) and (#8873) and al-Bukhaaree

in hisSaheeh(#3293) andMuslim(#2691).

And from its bounty is what the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever

recites;There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone having

no partner, to Him belongs the dominion to Him is all praise and He is ableto do everything, reciting it ten times upon morning then one hundred gooddeeds will be written for him while one hundred bad deeds will be erased, itwill be as if he freed one slave and he will be protected on that day until theevening. And when the evening comes whoever recites the like of it he will be

given the same (as was mentioned above when said in the morning).

It was related by Imaam Ahmad in hisMusnad(#7819) and graded asHasan

by our Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) in at-Tuhfah.

Supplication Twenty

Sufficient for me is Allah there is nothing worthy of worship except forHim, I place my trust in Him, He is the Lord of the mighty throne.(Recited seven times)

(20)And its bounty is from what was related by Ibn as-Sunee in Amalul-Yawmi

wal-Laylah (#71) from his statement said: Whoever recites seven times

every day upon entering the morning and upon entering the evening:Sufficient for me is Allah there is nothing worthy of worship except for Him, Iplace my trust in Him, He is the Lord of the mighty throne, Allah will suffice

him with all of his concerns from those affairs of the Dunyaa (the affairs ofthis life) and the Hereafter. And it was authenticated by Shuayb and Abdul-

Qaadir al-Arnaaoot inTahqeequ Zaadil-Maad(2/342).



27/44

Supplication Twenty One

Sufficient for me is Allah and sufficient is Allah for the one whom He hasheard supplicate there is no extent beyond Allah.

(21) It was related by Imaam Maalik in al-Muwataa in the Book of al-Qadrnarrative #9 from Maalik that it was transmitted that he said: All Praise is forAllah the One Who created everything as it was befitting (to be created), theOne Who does not hasten anything He defers and determines,sufficient for

me is Allah and sufficient is Allah for the one whom He has heard supplicatethere is no extent beyond Allah.

And from Ibn as-Sunee in Amalul-Yawmi wal-Laylah(#735) from Faatimah the

daughter of the Messenger of Allah who said: the Messenger of Allah

taught me to recite the following supplication: Whenever you retire to yourbed then say all Praise is for Allah the Sufficient, free is Allah from anyimperfection the Most High, sufficient for me is Allah sufficiently, what Hewishes is decreed, Allah hears the one who calls on Him, there is no sanctuary

from Allah nor beyond Allah any refuge, I place my trust on Allah, my Lordand your Lord.

There is not a living creature but He has grasp of its forelock. Verily, myLord is on the Straight Path (Siraat-ul-Mustaqeem).{Soorah Hood: 56}

And say: All the Praise and Gratitude is for Allah, Who has not begottena son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have asupporter. Magnify Him with all magnificence.{Soorat-ul-Israa: 111}

Then the Prophet said: There is not a Muslim who recites it before goingto sleep then upon sleeping the Shayaateen and vermin will not be able toharm him. And Allah knows best of its authenticity.



28/44

Supplication Twenty Two

Glorified is Allah with His praise.(Recited 100 times in the morning or inthe evening or recited at both times.)

(22)And what has come in regards to its superiority when he said: and

whoever recites Subhaana Allah wa bihamdih (Free is Allah from anyimperfection and to Him is the Praise) one hundred times in a day his sinswill be wiped off even if they were like the foam of the sea. It was related by

Muslim in hisSaheeh(#2691).

And his statement: Whoever recites upon morning and upon evening

Subhaana Allah wa bihamdih (Free is Allah from any imperfection and to Himis the Praise) one hundred times no one will come on the Day of Judgmentwith anything more superior than what he has brought except for one who

has recited the like of it or recited additional. It was related by Ahmad in al-

Musnad(#8835),Muslim(#2692) and at-Tirmidhee(#3469).

Supplication Twenty Three

I seek forgiveness from Allah and to Him I repent.(To be recited 100times.)

This is what was made easy to write and I ask Allah Most High to cause it tobe of benefit.

Written by Muhammad as-Saalih al-Uthaymeen in the 20th of Muharram1418 A.H. (Corresponding to May 27th 1997 C.E.)

(23) And that is what has been related by Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased

with him) when he said: The Messenger of Allah said: O People repent



29/44

to Allah for verily I repent to Allah a hundred times a day. As related by

Muslim#6859 and He said: and verily I seek forgiveness from Allah a

hundred times a day. As it was related byMuslim#6858.

This has been completed with the assistance of Allah and by HisTawfeeqonthe 5th ofDhul-Hijjahin the year 1421 A.H. and all praise is for Allah the OneWho completed by His favor the good deeds.

Written by the one in need of his Lords forgiveness Naayf bin Mamdooh binAbdil-Azeez Aali Saood (may Allah forgive him, his parents, his children andall of the muslims) in Riyaadh (may Allah protect it) 5/12/1421 A.H.
