Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad ibn Uthman from al-Halabi: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “When you begin the prayer, raise your hands, then spread them open fully, then say Takbir three times, then say: ‘O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, You are the True King. There is no god but You عز وجل. Glory be to You عز وجل. Indeed, I have wronged myself, so forgive me my sin. Surely, no one forgives sins except You عز وجل.’ Then say Takbir two times, then say: ‘Here I am, at Your عز وجل service, and all goodness is in Your عز وجل hands, and evil is not attributed to You عز وجل. The rightly guided is he whom You عز وجل guide. There is no refuge from You عز وجل except in You عز وجل. Glory be to You عز وجل and to Your عز وجل mercy. You عز وجل are Blessed and Exalted. Glory be to You عز وجل, Lord عز وجل of the House.’ Then say Takbir two times, then say: ‘I have turned my face to the One عز وجل who created the heavens and the earth,’ the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, in pure devotion, submitting (to Him عز وجل), ‘and I am not of the polytheists.’ Then seek refuge with Allah سبحانه وتعالى from the accursed Shaytan, then recite the Opening Chapter of the Book (Surah al-Fatiha).”
