Opening Supplication of Night Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the opening supplication of the Prophet (PBUH) when he stood up in the night to pray.

"I asked Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): 'With what did the Prophet used to open his Salat when he stood up in the night?' She said: 'When he stood up in the night, he would open his Salat by saying: "O Allah, Lord of Jibra’il, Mika’il, and Israfil; Originator of the heavens and the earth, and Knower of the hidden and the seen; You judge between Your slaves concerning that which they used to differ, guide me through that which there has been difference concerning the truth, verily, You are upon a straight path (Allahumma rabba Jibrila wa Mika'ila wa Israfil, fatira-samawati wal-arḍi wa `alimal-ghaibi wash-shahaadati anta taḥkumu baina `ibaadika feemaa kanu feehi yakhtalifuun, ihdini limakhtulifa feehi minal-ḥaqqi bi'idhnika innaka tahdee man tashaa'u ilaa siraatin mustaqeem)".
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها بِأَىِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَفْتَتِحُ صَلاَتَهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَتْ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ افْتَتَحَ صَلاَتَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَعَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ
