Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28221 — What a man says when he goes to sleep

Al-Sa'ib said: I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came to him. He said: "Shall I not teach you some words?" The narrator said: It was as if he was relating these words from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When you lie down on your bed at night, say: 'O Allah, I have surrendered my soul to You, I have turned my face towards You, I have entrusted my affair to You, and I have made You my support. I believe in Your revealed Book and in Your sent Prophet. You alone created my soul; to You belong its living and its dying. If You cause it to die, have mercy on it, and if You delay its death, protect it by keeping its faith safe.'"
