What a Person Should Say Upon Waking from Sleep

Jarraḥ al-Mada'ini reported from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام who said: "When one of you rises (from sleep), let him say: Subhana Allah Rabb an-nabiyyeen wa ilah al-mursaleen wa Rabb al-mustad‘afeen. Wal-hamdu lillahi alladhi yuhyi al-mawta wa Huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer. 'Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the Prophets, the God of the Messengers, and the Lord عز وجل of the oppressed. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who gives life to the dead and who has power over all things.' When he says this, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted, says, 'My servant has spoken the truth and expressed gratitude.'"
