Al-Harith ibn Muslim at-Tamimi narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) confided in him, saying: "When you finish Maghrib prayer, say: 'O Allah, save me from the Fire,' seven times. If you say this and then die that night, it will be recorded as a protection for you from it. And when you pray Fajr, say the same, for if you die that day, it will be recorded as a protection for you from it."
Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakra said: I said to my father, "O father, I hear you saying every morning: 'O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You.' You repeat it three times in the morning and three times in the evening." He replied, "O my son, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) supplicating with these words, and I love to follow his Sunnah."

ف: اس حدیث شریف کے آخر میں حضرت ابوبکرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے اپنے فرزند کو اس دعا کو
صبح وشام پابندی کی وجہ دریافت کرنے پر فرمایا کہ مجھے سنت نبوی صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کی پیروی بے حد
پسند ہے۔ اس سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ دعاؤں اور اعمال خیر کے انجام دینے میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ و
آلہ وسلم کی اتباع مقصود ہو، نہ کہ کوئی دنیوی غرض۔ مشکوٰۃ۔
Aban ibn Uthman said: I heard my father say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no servant who says every morning and evening: 'In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing can harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing,' three times, except that nothing will harm him." Aban had suffered a stroke, and a man looked at him (in surprise). Aban said, "Why are you looking at me? By Allah, the Hadith is as I narrated to you, but I did not say it that day so that Allah's decree would take its course." [Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and Abu Dawud]
In another narration: "He will not be afflicted by any sudden calamity until morning, and whoever says it in the morning will not be afflicted by any sudden calamity until evening."
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says in the morning: 'So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning. And to Him is [all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth, and [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon' (Qur'an 30:17-19), he will attain what he missed that day. And whoever says it in the evening will attain what he missed that night."
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says in the morning: 'O Allah, we have entered morning bearing witness to You, to the bearers of Your Throne, to Your angels, and to all Your creation that You are Allah, there is no god but You alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger,' Allah will forgive him whatever sins he commits that day. And if he says it in the evening, Allah will forgive him whatever sins he commits that night."
Abdullah ibn Ghannam (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says in the morning: 'O Allah, whatever blessing I or any of Your creation have received this morning is from You alone, with no partner. To You is all praise and gratitude,' he has fulfilled his gratitude for that day. And whoever says the same in the evening has fulfilled his gratitude for that night."

واضح ہو کہ شام کے وقت جب یہ دعاء پڑھی جائے تو ”مَا أَصْبَحَ“ کی بجائے ”مَا أَمْسَى
“ پڑھیں۔
حاشیہ مشکاۃ میں لمعات کے حوالہ سے لکھا ہے کہ حضرت داود علیہ السلام نے عرض کیا رب
العزت! آپ کی نعمتیں مجھ پر بے شمار ہیں میں کس طرح ان کا شکر ادا کروں، ارشاد ہوا کہ جب تم نے
یہ جان لیا کہ ساری نعمتیں میری ہی طرف سے ہیں تو تم نے میرا شکر ادا کر دیا۔12
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never failed to say these words every evening and morning: "O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your greatness from being swallowed up by the earth."

And when he woke up
(1) The statement: "And when he woke up" etc. One should wake up remembering Allah and resolving to be pious, avoiding what Allah has forbidden, and intending not to wrong any of Allah's servants. As mentioned in Al-Ghara'ib. This is stated in Al-'Alamgiriyyah.
Some of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) reported that he would teach them to say when morning came: "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him. There is no power except with Allah. What Allah wills happens, and what He does not will does not happen. I know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah encompasses all things in knowledge." Whoever says this in the morning will be protected until evening, and whoever says it in the evening will be protected until morning.
Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No Muslim servant says three times when evening and morning come: 'I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad as my Prophet,' except that it becomes Allah's obligation to please him on the Day of Resurrection."
Abu Ayyash (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever says when morning comes: 'There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and praise, and He has power over all things,' it will equal the reward of freeing a slave from the descendants of Ishmael, ten good deeds will be recorded for him, ten sins will be erased, he will be raised ten degrees, and he will be protected from Satan until evening. If he says it in the evening, he will have the same reward until morning."
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when evening came, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say: "We have entered evening and all sovereignty belongs to Allah. Praise be to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what it contains, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil it contains. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, bad old age, the trials of this world, and the punishment of the grave." When morning came, he would say the same, replacing "evening" with "morning."

Then if he says the same when evening comes, he will have the same reward."

Praise be to Allah. Grandeur and greatness belong to Allah. Creation and command belong to Allah. Night and day and all they contain belong to Allah. O Allah, make the beginning of this day righteousness, its middle success, and its end salvation. O Most Merciful of the merciful."

I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of Satan and his partners.' Say this when morning comes, when evening comes, and when you go to bed."
