Riyad as-Salihin - On dhikr morning and evening Hadith

Chapter: On dhikr morning and
evening

 

Allah says, "Remember your Lord in yourself humbly and
fearfully, without loudness of voice, morning and evening (âsâl). Do not be
among the heedless," (7:205) and linguists say that âsâl is the
plural of asîl and is the time between 'Asr and Maghrib.

Allah says, "Glorify your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its
setting," (W20:128; H20:130)

and He says, "Glorify your Lord with
praise in the evening ('ashi) and the early morning." (40:55)

and
linguists says that 'ashi is between the decline of the sun and its
setting. The Almighty says, "In houses which Allah has permitted to be
built and in which His name is remembered, there are men who proclaim His
glory morning," (W24:26; H24:36-37)

and the Almighty says, "We
subjected the mountains to glorify with him in the evening and at sunrise."
(W38:17; H38:18)

 

1451. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of Rising no one will bring anything
better than someone who says in the morning and evening, 'Glory be to Allah and
by His praise' a hundred times except someone who says the same as he says or
more." [Muslim]

1452. Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, what agony I
suffered last night from a scorpion which stung me yesterday!' He said, 'If you
had said in the evening, "I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allah from the
evil of what He has created," it would not have harmed you." [Muslim]

1453. Abu Hurayra stated that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to say in the morning, "O Allah, by You we start the day and by You
we end it, by You we live and by You we die and to You is the gathering." In the
evening he would say. "O Allah, by You we end the day, by You we live and by You
we die and to You is the gathering." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1454. Abu Hurayra reported that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "Messenger of Allah,
tell me some words I can say in the morning and in the evening." He said, "Say,
'O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the Unseen and the
Visible, Lord and Master of everything. I bear witness that there is no god but
You. I seek refuge from you from the evil of my self and from the evil of
Shaytan and his shirk.'" He said, "Say it in the morning and in the evening and
when you go to bed." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1455. Ibn Mas'ud said, "In the evening, the Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'We have reached the evening and the kingdom has
reached the evening by Allah. Praise belongs to Allah. There is no god but Allah
alone with no partner," The transmitter said, "I think that he also said, 'His
is the kingdom and His is the praise. He has power over everything. Lord, I ask
you for the good of what is in this night and the good of what comes after it,
and I seek refuge with You from the evil of what is in this night and the evil
of what comes after it. Lord, I seek refuge with You from laziness and the evil
of pride. Lord, I seek refuge with You from punishment in the Fire and
punishment in the grave.'" In the morning, he also said, "We have reached the
morning and the kingdom has reached the morning by Allah." [Abu Dawud and
at-Tirmidhi]

1456. 'Abdullah ibn Khubayb said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to me, 'Recite, "Say: He is God, One," and the suras of seeking refuge in the evening and the morning three times, it will be
enough to protect you in respect of everything.'" [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1457. 'Uthman ibn 'Affan reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "No slave of Allah says in the morning
every day and the evening every night, 'In the name of Allah by whose name
nothing in the earth or the heaven can be harmed. He is the Hearing, the
Knowing,' three times without that ensuring that nothing will harm him." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]
