The evening has reached, and all dominion belongs to Allah
أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا. رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ. رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ.

Amsaynā wa amsa-l-mulku lillāh, wa-l-ḥamdu lillāh, lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamd, wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr. Rabbi as’aluka khayra mā fī hādhihi-l-laylah wa khayra mā ba‘dahā, wa a‘ūdhu bika min sharri mā fī hādhihi-l-laylah wa sharri mā ba‘dahā. Rabbi a‘ūdhu bika mina-l-kasali wa sū’i-l-kibar. Rabbi a‘ūdhu bika min ‘adhābin fi-n-nāri wa ‘adhābin fi-l-qabr.
Translation
The evening has reached, and all dominion belongs to Allah; all praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, alone with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is Omnipotent over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge with You from laziness and the misery of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge with You from torment in the Fire and torment in the grave. (In the morning say "Aṣbaḥnā…" and "this day" in place of "this night".)

عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: كان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا أمسى قال: «أمسينا وأمسى الملك لله، والحمد لله، لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له» قال الراوي: أَرَاهُ قال فِيهِنَّ: «له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير، ربِّ أسألك خير ما في هذه الليلة وخير ما بعدها، وأعوذ بك من شر ما في هذه الليلة وشر ما بعدها، رب أعوذ بك من الكسل، وسُوءِ الكِبَرِ، رب أعوذ بك من عذاب في النار، وعذاب في القبر»، وإذا أصبح قال ذلك أيضا «أصبحنا وأصبح الملك لله».
‘Abdullāh ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the evening he would say: "The evening has reached, and all dominion belongs to Allah, and praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner..." — including: "To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is Omnipotent over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge with You from laziness and the misery of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge with You from torment in the Fire and torment in the grave." When morning came he would say the same, beginning: "The morning has reached, and all dominion belongs to Allah."
