Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29576

Al-Ansari narrated to us, Ma’an narrated to us, Malik bin Anas narrated to us, on the authority of Abu Al-Zubayr, on the authority of Tawus, on the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, may God be pleased with them, that When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, stood up for prayer in the middle of the night, he would say, “O God, praise be to You, You are the light of the heavens.” And the earth, and to You belongs all praise. You are the foundation of the heavens and the earth. To You belongs all praise, You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them. You are the truth, and Your promise is true, and the meeting with You is true. A truth, and Paradise is a truth, and Hell is a truth, and the Hour is a truth. Oh God, to You I have submitted, and in You I have believed, and in You I have put my trust, and to You “I repent and by You I have disputed, and to You I have judged, so forgive me what I have done forward and what I have delayed and what I have pleased and what I have declared. You are my God, there is no god but You.” He said: This is a hasan and authentic hadith. It was narrated in more than one way, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
