((أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَخَيرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ)). [ وإذا أمسى قال: أمسينا وأمسى الملك للَّه] [وإذا أمسى قال: رب أسألك خير ما في هذه الليلة، وخير ما بعدها، وأعوذ بك من شر ما في هذه الليلة، وشر ما بعدها.]
‘We have reached the morning and at this very time unto Allaah, belongs all sovereignty , and all praise is for Allaah. None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone, without any partner, to Him belong all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what follows it and I take refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it . My Lord, I take refuge in You from laziness and senility. My Lord, I take refuge in You from torment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.’

Context & meaning
The supplication timestamps itself. It opens by marking that morning has been reached and that at this very moment sovereignty and praise belong to Allah alone, without partner. What follows is built in matched pairs: the good of this day and the good of whatever comes after it are asked for, and refuge is then sought from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it. Three further refuges are named in sequence — from laziness, from senility, and from torment in the Fire alongside punishment in the grave.
When & how to recite
Said twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Reflection
Those three closing refuges move steadily further out in time. Laziness threatens the day just begun, senility waits at the far end of a lifetime, and the grave and the Fire lie beyond it altogether.
