Virtue and source
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you enters the morning, they should say [the above] three times. And when they enter the evening, they should say the same." (Nasaa'i in Sunan al-Kubra 10406)
How to read this dhikr
Praising Allah in the Evening is part of the evening azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the evening. The best time is after Asr, before the sun sets; if you miss that window it can still be read after Maghrib, before you sleep.
It is read 3 times. In the Sadeeq app a single tap counts each repetition and moves you on automatically when you reach 3, so you can keep your attention on the words rather than on a counter.
