Chapter 248
ءﺎﺴﻤﻟاو حﺎﺒﺼﻟا ﺪﻨﻋ ﺮآﺬﻟا بﺎﺑ
Remembrance of Allah in the Morning and in the Evening
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
And remember your Rubb by your tongue and within yourself, humbly and with fear and without loudness
in words in the mornings, and in the afternoons and be not of those who are neglectful.
'' (7:205)
"
And declare the perfectness of your Rubb before the rising of the sun, and before its setting
.'' (20:130)
"
And declare the perfectness of your Rubb and praise Him in the `Ashi (i.e., the time period after the
midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkar (i.e., the time period from early morning or sunrise till before
midnoon)
.'' (40:55)
"
In houses (mosques) which Allah has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honoured), in them His
Name is mentioned in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings. Men whom neither trade nor sale
diverts from the remembrance of Allah (with heart and tongue).
'' (24:36,37)
"
Verily, We made the mountains to declare the Perfectness of Allah with him [Dawud (David)] in the `Ashi
(i.e., after the midday till sunset) and Ishraq (i.e., after the sunrise till midday).
'' (38:18)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who
recites in the morning and in the evening the statement: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from
imperfection and I begin with praising Him)' one hundred times, will not be surpassed on the Day of Resurrection by
anyone with better deeds than one who utters the same words or utters more of these words
.''

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said, "What
a trouble I suffered from a scorpion which stung me last night!'' He (PBUH) said, "
Had you said in the evening:
`A`udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa (I seek the protection of Allah's Perfect Words from the evil
of whatever He has created),' it would not have harmed you
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
Kalimat means the Words of Allah, His Decisions and His Power. At-Tamat being free from every
defect and shortcoming. Thus, it means "
I seek the protection of Allah, by means of faultless Words, Decisions and
Power of Allah, from the mischief of every living being
''. It is the best prayer for protection from dangerous animals,
insects and people.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to say in the morning:
"
Allahumma bika asbahna, wa bika amsaina, wa bika nahya, wa bika namutu, wa ilaikan-nushur (O Allah! With
Your Power we have come to the morning, with Your Power we come to the evening, with Your Power we live, and
we die, and to You will we return
).'' In the evening he would say: "
Allahumma bika amsaina, wa bika nahya, wa
bika namutu, wa ilaikan-nushur (O Allah! With Your Power, we have come to the evening, by You do we live, by
You do we die, and to You is the return)
.''
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
