Abdullah bin `Amr [may Allah be pleased with both of them] said:โThe Messenger of Allah said: โThere are two characteristics over which a Muslim man does not guard, except that he enters Paradise. And indeed, they are easy, and those who act upon them are few: He glorifies Allah at the end of every prayer ten times (saying Subแธฅฤn Allฤh) and praises Him ten times saying (Al-แธคamdulillฤh) and extols His greatness ten times (saying Allฤhu Akbar).โโHe said: โAnd I have seen the Messenger of Allah counting them with his hand. He said: โSo this is one hundred and fifty with the tongue, and one thousand and five hundred on the Scale. When you go to bed, you glorify Him, extol His greatness, and praise Him a hundred times, so this is one hundred with the tongue and one thousand on the Scale. Which of you perform two thousand and five hundred evil deeds in a single day and night?โ They said: โHow could we not guard over them?โ He said: โShaitan comes to one of you when he is in his Salat and says: โRemember such and such, remember such and suchโ until he turns perhaps he will not do it. And he comes to him and he is lying down and makes him sleepy until he falls asleep.โโ
Kaโb bin Ujrah narrated that:The Prophet said: โThere are Muโaqqibat, he who says them shall not be miserable. Glorify Allah at the end of every prayer thirty-three times, and praise him thirty-three times, and extol His greatness thirty-four times.โ
Zaid bin Thabit (ra) said:โWe were ordered to say the Tasbฤซแธฅ at the end of every Salat thirty-three times, and to say the Takbฤซr thirty-four times.โ He said: โThen a man from the Ansar had a dream in which someone said: โThe Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) ordered you to say the Tasbฤซแธฅ at the end of every Salat thirty-three times, and to say the Taแธฅmฤซd thirty-three times, and to say the Takbฤซr thirty-four times?โ He said: โYes.โ He said: โThen make them twenty-five and add the Tahlฤซl (saying Lฤ ilฤha illallฤh) to them.โ The next day he went to the Prophet (๏ทบ) and informed him, so he said: โDo it.โ
Ubadah bin As-Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that:The Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) said: โWhoever wakes up in the night and says, โNone has the right to be worshiped but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the Dominion, and to Him is the praise, and He has power over all things. And Glory is to Allah, and all the praise is to Allah, and โNone has the right to be worshiped but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah (Lฤ ilฤha illallฤh, waแธฅdahu lฤ sharฤซka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-แธฅamdu, wa huwa `alฤ kulli shai'in qadฤซr.

So he makes a firm determination, then performs Wudu', then he performs Salat, his Salat shall be accepted.โ
Rabi`ah bin Ka`b Al-Aslami said:โI used to spend the night at the door of the Prophet (๏ทบ), so that I may give him his water for Wudu', and I would hear him, for a long period of the night, saying: โAllah hears the one who praise Him (Sami` Allฤhu liman แธฅamidah).โ And I would hear him, for a long period saying: โAll praise is due to Allah, Lord of the all that exists. (Al-แธฅamdulillฤhi rabbil-`ฤlamฤซn).โโ
Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that when the Prophet (๏ทบ) wanted to sleep, he would say:โO Allah, in Your Name I die and I live (Allฤhumma bismika amลซtu wa aแธฅyฤ).โ And when he would wake, he would say: โAllah praise is due to Allah who revived my soul after causing its death and to Him is the resurrection (Al-แธฅamdulillฤh, alladhฤซ aแธฅyฤ nafsฤซ ba`da mฤ amฤtahฤ wa ilaihin-nushลซr).โ
Abdullah bin `Abbas [may Allah be pleased with them] narrated, :that when the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) would stand for prayer during the middle of the night, he would say: โO Allah, to You is the Praise, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth, and to You is the Praise, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth, and to You is the praise, You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and those in them, You are the truth, and Your Promise is the truth, and Your meeting is true, and Paradise is true, and the Fire is true, and the Hour is true, O Allah, to You have I submitted, and in You have I believed , and in You have I relied, and to You have I turned, and by You have I argued, and to You have I referred for judgment. So forgive me what I have done before and after, and that which I have hidden and that which I have done openly.

Ibn Abbas said:โOne night, when he (๏ทบ) exited his Salat, I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: โO Allah, I ask You of Your mercy, that You guide by it my heart, and gather by it my affair, and bring together that which has been scattered of my affairs, and correct with it that which is hidden from me, and raise by it that which is apparent from me, and purify by it my actions, and inspire me by it with that which contains my guidance, and protect me by it from that which I seek protection, and protect me by it from every evil. O Allah give me faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief, and mercy, by which I may attain the high level of Your generosity in the world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for success [in that which You grant, and relief] in the Judgment, and the positions of the martyrs, and the provision of the successful, and aid against the enemies. O Allah, I leave to You my need, and my actions are weak, I am in need of Your mercy, so I ask You, O Decider of the affairs, and O Healer of the chests, as You separate me from the punishment of the blazing flame, and from seeking destruction, and from the trial of the graves. O Allah, whatever my opinion has fallen short of, and my intention has not reached it, and my request has not encompassed it, of good that You have promised to anyone from Your creation, or any good You are going to give to any of Your slaves, then indeed, I seek it from You and I ask You for it, by Your mercy, O Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, Possessor of the strong rope, and the guided affair, I ask You for security on the Day of the Threat, and Paradise on the Day of Immortality along with the witnesses, brought-close, who bow and prostrate, who fulfill the covenants, You are Merciful, Loving, and indeed, You do what You wish. O Allah, make us guided guiders and not misguided misguiders, an ally to Your friends, an enemy to Your enemies. We love due to Your love, those who love You, and hate, due to Your enmity those who oppose You. O Allah, this is the supplication (that we are capable of), and it is upon You to respond, and this is the effort (that we are capable of), and upon You is the reliance. O Allah, appoint a light in my heart for me, and a light in my grave, and light in front of me, and light behind me, and light on my right, and light on my left, and light above me, and light below me, and light in my hearing, and light in my vision, and light in my hair, and light in my skin, and light in my flesh, and light in my blood, and light in my bones. O Allah, magnify for me light, and appoint for me a light. Glory is to the One who wears Glory and grants by it. Glory is to the One for Whom glorification is not fitting except for Him, the Possessor of Honor and Bounties, Glory is to the Possessor of Glory and Generosity, Glory is to the Possessor of Majesty and Honorโ (Allฤhumma innฤซ as'aluka raแธฅmatan min `indika tahdฤซ bihฤ qalbฤซ, wa tajma`u bihฤ amrฤซ, wa talummu bihฤ sha`athฤซ, wa tuแนฃliแธฅu bihฤ ghฤ'ibฤซ, wa tarfa`u bihฤ shฤhidฤซ, wa tuzakkฤซ bihฤ `amalฤซ, wa tulhimunฤซ bihฤ rushdฤซ, wa taruddu bihฤ ulfatฤซ, wa ta`แนฃimunฤซ bihฤ min kulli sลซ'in.
