“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘With
what did the Prophet (ﷺ) start voluntary prayers?’ She said: ‘You
have asked me about something which no one has asked before. He used
to say Allahu Akbar ten times, and Al-Hamdu Lillah ten times and
Subhan Allah ten times, and he would say Allahumma aghfirli wahdini,
warzuqni, wa ‘afini (O Allah, forgive me, guide me, grant me
provision
and give me good health),” and he would seek refuge from
the
difficulty of the standing on the Day of Resurrection.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 554

(ﷺ)
prayed Tahajjud at night, he would say: “Allahumma lakal-hamd,
Anta
nurus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Wa lakal-hamd, Anta
qayyamus-samawati wal-ard wa man fihinna. Wa lakal-hamd, Anta

khasamtu, wa
ilaika hakamtu, faghfirli ma qaddamtu wa ma akhkhartu,
wa ma asrartu
wa ma a`lantu. Antal-muqaddimu wa Antal-muakhkhiru.
La ilaha illa anta
wa la ilaha ghairuka, wa la hawla wa la quwwata
illa bika (O Allah, to
you is praise, You are the Light of the
heavens and the earth, and
everyone therein. To You is praise, You
are the Sustainer of the
heavens and the earth, and everyone therein.
To You is praise, You are
the Sovereign of the heavens and the earth,
and everyone therein. To
You is praise, You are the Truth; Your
promise is true, the meeting
with You is true, Your saying is true,
Paradise is true, the Fire is
true, the Hour is true, the Prophets
are true, and Muhammad (ﷺ) is true. O
Allah, to You have I submitted, in
You I believe, in You have I put my
trust, to You I turn in
repentance, by Your help I argue, to You I
refer my case, so forgive
me for my past and future sins, what I have
done in secret and what I
have done openly. You are the One Who brings
forward and puts back.
None has the right to be worshipped but You,
and there is none who
has the right to be worshipped other than You.
And there is no power
and no strength except with You.”

You are the One Who guides to the straight Path).”
