5. ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud 2 said: “When it was evening the Prophet used to supplicate, by saying: ‘We entered upon evening and the whole Kingdom of Allah also entered upon evening, for all praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, the One Who has no partner. O Allah, I beg of You the good of this night, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil which follows it. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sloth, and the evil of vanity. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of the Hellfire and from torment in the grave.””
