La ilaha illa-llahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Subhana-llah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha illa-llah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil-'aliyyil-'adheem. Rabbighfir li
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. Glory be to Allah, all praise belongs to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except through Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent. My Lord, forgive me.
For one who wakes in the night. Whoever says it and then asks for forgiveness or makes du'a is answered.

Truly, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of night and day there are signs for people of understanding: those who remember Allah standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, You did not create all this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the punishment of the Fire. Our Lord, whoever You admit into the Fire You have truly disgraced, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers. Our Lord, we have heard a caller calling to faith, saying, 'Believe in your Lord,' and we believed. Our Lord, forgive us our sins, wipe away our misdeeds, and take our souls in the company of the righteous. Our Lord, grant us what You promised us through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. You never break Your promise." And their Lord answered them: "I will not let the deeds of any one of you go to waste, male or female; you are of one another. Those who emigrated, were driven from their homes, were harmed in My way, fought and were killed, I will surely wipe away their misdeeds and admit them into gardens beneath which rivers flow, as a reward from Allah. With Allah is the best reward." Do not be deceived by the movement of the disbelievers through the land. It is a brief enjoyment, then their refuge is Hell, and what a wretched resting place. But those who are mindful of their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding there forever, a welcome from Allah, and what is with Allah is best for the righteous. And among the People of the Book are some who believe in Allah and in what was sent down to you and what was sent down to them, humble before Allah, not selling the verses of Allah for a small price. Their reward is with their Lord. Allah is swift in reckoning. O you who believe, be patient, outlast others in patience, stand firm, and be mindful of Allah, so that you may succeed.
The Prophet ﷺ recited these closing verses of Surah Al 'Imran when he rose in the night.

O Allah, You are the King; there is no god but You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant. I have wronged myself and I admit my sin, so forgive me all my sins, for none forgives sins but You.

Said at the opening of the prayer, each of the first three phrases three times. Al-Albani graded this threefold form weak; Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut graded it hasan through supporting chains. Saying "Allahu akbaru kabira, wa-l-hamdu lillahi kathira, wa subhana-llahi bukratan wa asila" once at the opening is sahih (Sahih Muslim 601).

O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have placed my trust, in You I have believed, to You I have turned, by You I contend, and to You I bring my case for judgment. So forgive me what I have sent before and what I have left behind, what I have hidden and what I have made known, and what You know better than I. You are the One who brings forward and the One who holds back; there is no god but You. You are my God; there is no god but You. And there is no might nor power except through Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ said this when he rose to pray at night. The bracketed phrases in the Arabic come from different narrations of the same hadith.

The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each believes in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final return." Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. It gains whatever good it has done and suffers whatever evil it has done. "Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden like the one You placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people."
The Prophet ﷺ said these two verses, recited at night, will suffice the one who recites them.

Allahumma 'abduka wabnu amatika-htaja ila rahmatik, wa anta ghaniyyun 'an 'adhabih, in kana muhsinan fa-zid fi hasanatih, wa in kana musi'an fa-tajawaz 'anh
O Allah, Your servant, the son of Your maidservant, is in need of Your mercy, and You have no need to punish him. If he did good, increase his good deeds, and if he did wrong, overlook it.
Al-Hakim graded its chain sahih and adh-Dhahabi agreed. The Prophet ﷺ said this when standing for a funeral prayer.

To Allah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him has an appointed term... so let her be patient and hope for Allah's reward.
The Prophet ﷺ sent this to his daughter when her child was dying. Speaking to the bereaved directly, say fasbir wahtasib to a man or fasbiri wahtasibi to a woman. The wording A'dhama-llahu ajrak in Hisn al-Muslim is from scholars, not a hadith, and is left out.

Peace be upon you, people of these dwellings, among the believers and the Muslims. We will, if Allah wills, be joining you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone ahead and those who come later. I ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.
The line asking mercy for those who went before and those who follow comes from 'A'ishah's narration (Sahih Muslim 974). Visiting graves is for remembering the Hereafter and praying for the dead.

He would say Allahu Akbar three times on every high place, then say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, without partner.

Allah fulfilled His promise, gave victory to His servant, and alone defeated the confederates.
