    لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّه
    وحدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ،
    لهُ المُلْـكُ ولهُ الحَمْـد،
    يُحْيـي وَيُميـتُ
    وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمـوت،
    بِيَـدِهِ الْخَـيْرُ
    وَهوَ على كلّ شيءٍ قدير


    English Translation:

    Lā ilāha illallāh
    waḥdahu lā sharīka lah,
    Lahu ‘l-mulku wa lahu ‘l-ḥamd,
    Yuḥyī wa yumīt,
    wa huwa ḥayyun lā yamūt,

    None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone,
    Who has no partner.
    His is the dominion and His is the praise. He brings life and He causes death,
    and He is living and does not die.
    In His Hand is all good,
    and He is Able to do all things.

  • Chapter: Prayer of the traveller as dawn approaches

    Status Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 215

    سَمِـعَ سـامِعٌ بِحَمْـدِ اللهِ وَحُسْـنِ بَلائِـهِ عَلَيْـنا.
    رَبَّنـا صـاحِبْـنا وَأَفْـضِل عَلَيْـنا
    عائِذاً باللهِ مِنَ النّـار


    English Translation:

    Sami`a sāmi`un biḥamdillāhi wa ḥusni balā’ihi `alaynā.
    Rabbanā ṣāḥibnā, wa afḍil `alaynā,
    `ā’idhan billāhi minan-nār.

    He Who listens has heard that we praise Allah for the good things He gives us.
    Our Lord, be with us and bestow Your favor upon us.
    I seek the protection of Allah from the Fire.

    Reference:
    Muslim 4/2086, the meaning of sami`a sāmi`un (who listens has heard) is
    that ‘a witness has witnessed our praise of Allah due to His blessings and
    favor upon us.’ It could also be read samma`a sāmi`un, in which case it
    means ‘one who has heard this statement of mine will convey it to another
    and he will say it as well.’ This is due to the attention given to the
    Thikr (remembrance of Allah) and supplications made during the early
    morning hours. The meaning of his saying ‘Our Lord, be with us and bestow
    Your favor upon us’ is: ‘Our Lord, protect us and guard us. Bless us with
    Your numerous bounties, and avert from us every evil.’ See An-Nawawi, Sharh
    Sahih Muslim 17/39.
