Whoever gets up at night and says: 'Lā ilāha illAllāhu, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu

Narrated by Ubādah ibn aṣ-Ṣāmit رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

“Whoever gets up at night and says: 'Lā ilāha illAllāhu, waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shaiʾin qadīr. Alḥamdulillāhi wa-SubḥānAllāhi wa-Lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāhu w-Allāhu Akbar wa-Lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāh.' 

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير

 الحمد لله وسبحان الله ولا اله الا الله والله اكبر ولا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله

(None has the right to be worshipped but Allāh. He is the Only One and has no partners. For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are due for Him. He is Omnipotent. Praise be to Allāh and Glory be to Allāh, and There is no God but Allāh, and Allāh is Greatest And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allāh). 

And then says: Allāhumma-ġfirlī 

اللهم اغفر لي

(O Allāh! Forgive me). 

Or invokes (Allāh), he will be responded to, and if he performs ablution (and prays), his prayer will be accepted."

[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1154]
