Sunan Abi Dawud 767 (Book 2, Hadith 377) #21058
The Night Prayer of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the words used by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to begin his prayer when he stood up at night.

Abu Salamah b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf said: I asked 'A’ishah: By what words the Prophet used to begin his prayer when he stood up at night (to offer tahajjud prayer). She said: When he stood up at night, he began his prayer by saying: O Allah, Lord of Jibra’il, Lord of Mik’ail, and Lord of Israfil, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the Knower of what is seen and of what is unseen; Thou decides between Thy servants in which they used to differ. Guide me to the truth where there is a difference of opinion by Thy permission. Thou guides anyone Thou wishes to the right path.
