Original text
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلىاللهعليهوآله:
مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ :
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلّاَ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَشَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.
كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ قَالَهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ وَكُنَّ لَهُ مَسْلَحَةً مِنْ أَوَّلِ نَهَارِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَمَلاً يَقْهَرُهُنَّ.
Translation
The noble prophet of Allah (PBUH&HF) said:
"Everyone who says ten times in the morning,
'There is no god except Allah alone, he has no partner, he has the empire, and praise belongs to him, he makes alive and brings death and he is capable of everything.'
Allah will write him ten rewards and will take from him ten sins and will raise him ten steps for each recitation and these recitations will be his weapon from the beginning of the day until the end of it and he will not do on that day anything stronger than these recitations.
