A Great Dhikr

لا اِلهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"Whoever says,
'La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la shariika lah, lahul Mulku walahul Hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in Qadiir

(None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Alone, no partner has He, All Sovereignty belongs to Him, All Praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things).

One hundred times, during the morning, gets the reward of freeing ten slaves, a hundred hasanat (i.e, good deeds) are written for him, one hundred misdeeds are erased from him, and it becomes his protection from Shaytan in his day until the evening, and on the Day of Judgment, no one will exceed him in merit except one who has recited more."
[sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]



Abu Ayyub Al Ansari (radiAllahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "Whoever recited,

'La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la shariika lah, lahul Mulku walahul Hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in Qadiir',

Ten times, it is like one who freed four persons from Bani Ismail (i.e, descendants of Ismail, alayhis salam)."
[sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim]



In a version related by Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, and Ahmed: Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
"Whoever recited ten times, or once to ward off laziness,

'La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la shariika lah, lahul Mulku walahul Hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in Qadiir',

will have the reward of freeing a slave from Bani Ismail, ten hasanat (i.e, good deeds) will be written for him, ten misdeeds are forgiven from him, he is raised up ten degrees, and he is protected from Shaytan until evening, whoever says it in the evening, will have the same reward until morning."



Ubadah ibn Samit (radiAllahu anhu) reported: Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said,
"Whoever gets up at night and says,

'La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la shariika lah, lahul Mulku walahul Hamdu, wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in Qadiir, Subhana Allah, wal Hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illa Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wala Hawla wala Quwwata illa billah, Al Aliyy Al Adhiim, Rabbi Ighfirli'

(None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Alone, no partner has He, All Sovereignty belongs to Him, All Praise is due to Him, and He has power over all things, Glory unto Allah how far is He from all imperfection, All Praise due to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Greatness is exclusively for Allah, there is no power nor might except by the permission of Allah, Most High, The Supreme, O Allah forgive me).

If he says this, he will be forgiven, if he makes Du'a (i.e, supplication) it will be accepted, and if he prays Salah, it also will be accepted." [sahih al-Bukhari]
