Abu Saโ€™eeed Al Khudri narrated:

โ€œWhen Allahโ€™s Messenger stood for Salat during the night, he would say the Takbir (Allahu Akbar), then say: (Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika wa Tabarakasmuka wa Taโ€™ala Jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk.) โ€˜Glorious You are O Allah, and with Your praise, and blesses is Your Name, and exalted is Your majesty, and none has the right to be worshipped but Youโ€™

Then he would say: (Aโ€™udhu Bilahi As-Samiโ€™il-Alimi min Ash-Shaitanir-Rajimi, min Hamzihi Wa Nafkhihi wa Nafthihi.)โ€ โ€˜Allah is undoubtedly the greatest.โ€™ (Allahu Akbaru Kabira). Then he would say: โ€˜I seek refuge in Allah the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the cursed Shaitan, from his madness, his arrogance, and his poetry.โ€™
