‘None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh. He is the only One and has no partners. His is the Kingdom and his is the Praise. He is Omnipotent. All Praise is for Allāh, all Glory is for Allāh, none has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, Allāh is Greater, and there is neither Might nor Power except with Allāh,’ and then says, ‘O Allāh, forgive me,’ or asks Allāh, he will be responded to, and if he performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted.”
The Dthikr of Sunnah that one should utter upon waking up during the night:
If one wakes up during the night, it is Sunnah for him to utter the following Dthikr:‘Ubādah Ubn Us-Sāmit (ABPWH) said that the Messenger of Allāh (PBUH) said:
“Whoever wakes up in the night and says:
{ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ }
(Al-Bukhāriy no. 1154)

There are two great glad-tidings mentioned in this Hadeeth. If a person wakes up and says this Dthikr, he will get two rewards:
If he says, “O Allāh forgive me,” or makes Du‘ā’, then his Du‘ā’ will be answered.
If he performs Wudū’ and prays, his prayer will be accepted.
We have now concluded the section of Timed Sunan.
Praise be to Allah who has bestowed us with these great rewards, and may Allah assist us to do good.
