Hadith 367

31. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu Hashim from abu Khadijah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a. s. ) who has said the following: “Prayer before sunrise and sunset is an established Sunnah (tradition). At sunrise and sunset say, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, alone, Who has no partner. To Him belongs the Kingdom and all praise. He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life and He does not die. In His hand is all good, He has power over all things, ’ ten times and then say, ‘I seek protection with Allah, the Hearing, the Omniscient, against the whispers of Satan. I seek protection with You, my Lord against their approaching me. Allah is All-Hearing and Omniscient, ’ ten times before sunrise and sunset. If you forget, make it up as you make up the formal prayer when you forget. ’”
