Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up to pray at night (for tahajjud prayer) he uttered the takbir and then said: ""Glory be to Thee, O Allah,"" and ""Praise be to Thee"" and ""Blessed is Thy name,"" and Exalted is Thy greatness."" and ""There is no god but Thee."" He then said: ""There is no god but Allah"" three times; he then said: ""Allah is altogether great"" three times: ""I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)"" He then recited (the Qur'an).
