((أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُـمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ:فَتْحَهُ، وَنَصْرَهُ، وَنورَهُ، وَبَرَكَتَهُ، وَهُدَاهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ)). [وإذا أمسى قال: أمسينا وأمسى الملك للَّه ربّ العالمين اللَّهم إني أسألك خير هذه الليلة: فتحها، ونصرها، ونورها، وبركتها، وهداها، وأعوذ بك من شر ما فيها، وشر ما بعدها.]

Context & meaning
Instead of asking for good in general, this supplication itemises it. After marking that morning has been reached and that all sovereignty belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, it asks for the good of this day and then lists what that good consists of: its triumphs, its victories, its light, its blessings and its guidance. The corresponding request runs the other way, seeking refuge from the evil of this day and from the evil that follows it.
When & how to recite
Morning and evening alike. A separate evening wording is supplied by the text.
Reflection
The evening form supplied alongside it keeps the list completely intact and changes only the frame, so the same five goods are asked for of tonight rather than of this day.
