Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: It is mentioned in a hadith that the one who wakes up at night and says "La ilaha illa Allah" [There is no god but Allah] until the end of the hadith. He says: I have read it in more than one place with different wordings. We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to mention the correct wording. And is it permissible for one who does not recite it in the exact wording reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but in a form close to it and similar in meaning?
Answer:
My brother, adhere to the wording of the hadith. If you wake up at night, you say what is mentioned in the hadith and you will receive the reward. If you do not memorize the exact wording, you convey the meaning with a dhikr that corresponds to it. Yes.
