A morning supplication recorded in the Abu Dawud 5072 tradition.
Radheetu billahi rabba, wa bil-islami deena, wa bi Muhammadin nabiyya
I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad as my Prophet.
Source: Abu Dawud 5072. Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections; most of its supplication narrations are authentic or hasan.
The morning adhkar are recited from dawn (Fajr) until the sun rises. Many scholars say the strongest time is right after the Fajr prayer, while you're still seated on the prayer mat — protect that quiet moment for this dua.
Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the six canonical hadith collections (Kutub al-Sittah). Imam Abu Dawud as-Sijistani (d. 275 AH) focused on legal and devotional hadith. Most narrations are sound; he noted weak ones explicitly when included. The morning and evening adhkar are a body of Prophetic supplications meant to be recited at the day's two transitions. They function as a daily spiritual perimeter — gratitude at the start, refuge from harm, and a renewal of intention.
