I also bear witness that there is no god but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever, and that Muhammad ﷺ is His servant and His Messenger. I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, with Muhammad as my Messenger, and with Islam as my religion.

O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and established prayer, grant Muhammad the status (a unique lofty status in Paradise) and pre-eminence, and resurrect him to the praiseworthy station that You have promised him.
O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my sight and light in my hearing. Place light on my right and place light on my left. Place light above me and place light beneath me. Place light in front of me, place light behind me and grant me light.

Ibn ʿAbbas (radiy Allāhū ʿanhumā): One night I slept at the house of Maimūnā (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā). The Prophet ﷺ woke up, answered the call of nature, washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the mouth and performed wudhū not using much water, yet he washed all the parts properly and then offered the prayer.
I got up and stretched, fearing that the Prophet ﷺ might sense that I was watching him, and then I performed wudhū, and when he got up to offer the Salah, I stood on his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered thirteen rakʿāt (units) in total and then lay down and slept till he started breathing heavily as he used to do when he slept.
In the meantime Bilal (radiy Allāhū ʿanhu) informed the Prophet ﷺ of the approaching of (Fajr) Salah, and the Prophet ﷺ offered the Fajr salah without performing a new wudhū. And he used to say in his supplication [the above]. (Bukhārī 6316, Muslim 763)

Haywah b. Shurayh (raḥimahullāh) narrated: “I met ‘Uqbah b. Muslim (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) and said to him: ‘It has been reported to me that someone has narrated to you from the Prophet ﷺ that when he entered the mosque, he would say [the above]. Is it only this? He replied: ‘Yes. Whoever says [the above], Shaytān says: ‘He has gained protection against me for the entire day.’” (Abū Dawūd 466)
Fātimah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque he would say: ‘In the Name of Allah. Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, forgive my sins. O Allah, open the gates of Your mercy for me.’ When he left he would say: In the Name of Allah. Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty. (Ibn Mājah 771)
Abū Usayd (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When any one of you enters the mosque, he should say: ‘O Allah, open the gates of Your mercy for me.’; and when he steps out he should say: ‘O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.'” (Muslim 713)
