Al-ḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī`āfānī fī jasadī. wa radda `alayya rūḥī. wa 'adhina lī bidhikrihi.
Praise is to Allah who gave strength to my body and returned my soul to me and permitted me to remember Him.
Ref: At-Tirmidhi 5/473. See Al-Albani's Sahih Tirmidhi 3/144. Hisnul Muslim 3
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ له لهُ المُلـكُ ولهُ الحَمـد وهوَ على كلّ شيءٍ قدير سُـبْحانَ اللهِ والحمْـدُ لله ولا إلهَ إلاّ اللهُ واللهُ أكبَر وَلا حَولَ وَلا قوّة إلاّ باللّهِ العليّ العظيم رَبِّ اغْفرْ لي
Lā 'ilāha 'illallāhu waḥdahu la sharīka lahu. lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu. wa huwa 'alā kulli shay'in qadīrSubḥānallāhi, walḥamdu lillāhi. wa lā 'ilāha 'illallāhu, wallāhu 'akbar. wa lā ḥaula wa lā quwwata 'illā billāhil-`aliyyil-`aẓīm. rabbighfir lī.
There is none worthy of worship but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is able to do all things. Glory is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. There is none worthy of worship but Allah. Allah is the Most Great. There is no might and no power except by Allah's leave, the Exalted, the Mighty. My Lord, forgive me.
Ref: Whoever says this will be forgiven, and if he supplicates Allah, his prayer will be answered; if he performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted. Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 3/39, among others. The wording here is from Ibn Majah 2/335. Hisnul Muslim 2
الحَمْـدُ لِلّهِ الّذي أَحْـيانا بَعْـدَ ما أَماتَـنا وَإليه النُّـشور
Alḥamdu lillāhil-ladhī 'aḥyānāba`da mā 'amātanāwa 'ilayhin-nushūr.
Praise is to Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return.
Ref: Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 11/113; Muslim 4/2083 Hisnul Muslim 1
مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ
Man kāna yuʾminu billāhi wal-yawmil-ākhir falyakul khayran aw liyasmut.
Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent.
تَبَسُّمُكَ فِي وَجْهِ أَخِيكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ
Tabas-sūmuka fī wajhi akhīka laka ṣadaqah.
Your smile for your brother is an act of charity.
