When the Prophet ﷺ rose for the night prayer, he would say, "O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise. You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. To You belongs all praise. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all who dwell in them. To You belongs all praise. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all who dwell in them. You are the Truth, Your word is truth, Your promise is truth, the meeting with You is truth, Paradise is truth, the Fire is truth, and the Hour is truth. O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You I have relied, to You I have brought my dispute, and by You I seek judgment. So forgive me what I have done before and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public, and whatever You know of me better than I know myself. There is no god but You."Abu Abdullah said that Qays bin Saad and Abu Zubayr reported from Tawus the wording "qayyam" instead. Mujahid said that "al-Qayyum" means the One who sustains all things. Umar recited it as "al-Qayyam," and both readings are terms of praise.
