[Qur., 13:15]“It refers to the supplication before sunrise and before sunset, and this is the time when supplications are answered.”-Abū ‘Abdillāh (‘a.s.)
2.First: Imam al-Sadiq (`a) is reported to have said that Imam `Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-`Abidin (`a) used to begin his day with the following statement

wa min shamatati al-a`da’i

3278‒4. Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā (‒) Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad (‒) al- Ḥajjāl* and Bukayr ibn Muḥammad (‒) Abū Isḥāq ash-Sha‘īrī (‒) Yazīd ibn Kalthamah that Abū ‘Abdillāh or Abū Ja‘far (‘a.s.) said:
‘I arise a believer in Allāh,upon the religion of Muḥammad and his sunnah, the religion of ‘Alī and his sunnah, and the religion of the Legatees (i.e. the infallible Imāms) and their sunnah. I believe in their secrets and open declarations, when they are present or hidden; and I seek Allāh’s refuge from that which the Messenger of Allāh (ṣ) sought refuge, as did ‘Alī (‘a.s.) and the Legatees; and I desire from Allāh that which they desired from Him, and there is no might or power except by [the will of] Allāh.’”
Sahifa Alavia 59 and 60 59‘Amīr al-Mu’minīn (‘a.s.) used to say in the mornings: say 3 times
Allaahumma Innee As-Aloka Be-I’zzate Mulkeka Wa Be-Shiddate Quwwateka Wa Be-A’zame Sultaaneka Wa Be-Qudrateka A’laa Khalqeka An Tosalleya A’laa Mohammadin Wa Aale Mohammadin Wa An Taf-A’la Be Kazaa
O Allāh, I beg You by the glory of Your kingdom, the might of Your strength, the greatness of Your dominion and Your power over Your creation.”’”

Praise be to Allah, Who made me such that I have not died nor am I sick, nor have my veins been infected with disease, nor have I been hauled up for my evil acts, nor am I without progeny, nor have I forsaken my religion, nor do I disbelieve in my Lord, nor do I feel strangeness with my faith, nor is my intelligence affected, nor have I been punished with the punishment of peoples before me. I am a slave in Your possession; I have been guilty of excesses over myself. You have exhausted Your pleas over me and I have no plea (before You). I have no power to take except what You give me and I cannot evade except what You save me from. O Allah! I seek Your protection from becoming destitute despite Your riches, from being misguided despite Your guidance, from being molested in Your realm and from being humiliated while authority rests with You. O Allah! Let my spirit be the first of those good objects that You take from me and the first trust out of Your favors held in trust with me. O Allah! We seek Your protection from turning away from Your command or revolting against Your religion, or being led away by our desires instead of by guidance that comes from You.
3312‒38. ‘Alī ibn Muḥammad (‒) some of his co-sectarians (‒) Muḥam-mad ibn Sinān (‒) Abū Sa‘īd al-Makārī (‒) Abū Ḥamzah that Abū Ja‘far (‘a.s.) said: “I asked him: ‘What is meant by the verse wherein Allāh says: And Ibrāhīm who fulfilled [his duty], [Qur., 53:37]?’ He [‘a.s.] said: ‘Some words that he pronounced regularly.’ I asked: ‘What were these words?’ He [‘a.s.] said: ‘Whenever he woke up in the morning he would say the following thrice:And he said the same thing thrice in the evenings.
“I awake and my Lord be praised. I awake without ascribing anything as a partner to Allāh, and I do not call upon any other god with Him, nor do I take any guardian besides Him.”
I asked: ‘What did He mean when He said about Nūḥ: Indeed he was a grateful servant [Qur., 17:3]?’ He [‘a.s.] replied: ‘Some words that he pronounced regularly.’ I asked: ‘What were these words?’ He [‘a.s.] said: ‘Whenever he awoke in the morning he would say: He would say this thrice every morning and thrice every evening.’
“I wake up taking You as my witness that whatever I have awoken with of blessings and wellbeing in my religion or of this world – it is all from You alone, without and partner. So, all praise belongs to You for this, and plentiful gratitude.”
I further asked: ‘What did He mean when He said about Yaḥyā: And a compassion from us and a purity [Qur., 19:13]?’ He [‘a.s.] answered: ‘The compassion of Allāh.’ I said: ‘What was the compassion of Allāh that reached him?’ He [‘a.s.] said: ‘Whenever he would say: “My Lord” Allāh, to Whom belong Might and Majesty would say: “I am here O Yaḥyā!”’”
