بَابُ مَا يَقُولُ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِChapter: What to say when going to bed
Hadith 1211
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ خَازِمٍ أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّخَعِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ نَامَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”اللَّهُمَّ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَنْجَا وَلاَ مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ“، قَالَ: ”فَمَنْ قَالَهُنَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would go to his bed, he would lie down on his right side, then recite this supplication: “O Allah! I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my soul to You, and I have relied upon You, fearing You and desiring Your blessings. There is no refuge and no place of safety except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.” Then he said: “Whoever recites these words (with faith and certainty) at night and then dies that night, his death will be upon the natural disposition (fitrah).”
