Shariq Al-Hawzani reported: "I entered upon Aisha and asked her: 'How did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) begin when he woke up at night?' She said: 'You have asked me something no one has asked me before. When he woke up at night, he would say the Takbir ten times, then say: 'Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him' ten times, then say: 'Glory be to the King, the Holy' ten times, then seek Allah’s forgiveness ten times, then say the Tahlil ten times, then say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the distress of this world and the distress of the Day of Judgment' ten times, then he would begin his prayer.'"
