سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ وَ اذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعاً وَ خِيفَةً وَ دُونَ الْجَهْرِ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ قَالَ إِنَّ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ لَكَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ وَ حِينَ تَغْرُبُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Al A’ala Bin Kaamil who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘And mention your Lord<sup>azwj</sup> within yourself, humbly and fearfully and without being loud from the speech during the evening, ‘There is no god except Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Alone, there being no Associate for Him<sup>azwj</sup>. For Him<sup>azwj</sup> is the Kingdom and for Him<sup>azwj</sup> is the Praise. He<sup>azwj</sup> Causes to live and Causes to die, and He<sup>azwj</sup> Causes to die and Causes to live, and He<sup>azwj</sup> is Able upon everything’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘In His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Hand is the goodness’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘In His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Hand is the goodness, but say just as I<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> am saying it to you, ten times, and, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, the Hearing, the Knowing’, when the sun emerges and when it sets, ten times’.
