[016.5] Supplication at the start of the prayer [after takbeer] |

‘Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, much praise is for Allaah, much praise is for Allaah, much praise is for Allaah, and I declare the perfection of Allaah in the early morning and in the late afternoon.’ [three times]

‘I take refuge with Allaah from the devil, from his pride, his poetry and his madness.’
