Reference of The 3rd and 4th Kalimas are taken from following Hadith,

عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال من تعار من الليل فقال لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وهو على كل شيء قدير وسبحان الله والحمد لله ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله ثم قال رب اغفر لي أو قال ثم دعا استجيب له فإن عزم فتوضأ ثم صلى قبلت صلاته

The Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wa Sallam said:

“Whoever wakes up in the night and say, (La Ilaha Illallah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu, Lahul-Mulku Wa Lahul-Hamdu, Wa Huwa ala Kulli Shai’in Qadir (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs the Dominion, and to Him is the praise, and He has power over all things.)

And Subhan Allah, Walhamdullilah, Wa La Ilaha Illallah, Wa Allahu Akbar, Wa La Hawla Wa La Quwwata Illa Billah. (Glory is to Allah, and all the praise is to Allah, and ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, and there is no might nor power except by Allah.)’ – then he says: Rabbighfirli (‘O my Lord, forgive me) then he supplicates, he shall be responded to.(3)
