Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28222 — What a man says when he goes to sleep

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Please tell me a supplication that I may recite morning and evening." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite this supplication: 'O Allah, Knower of the hidden and the manifest, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Lord and Sovereign of everything, I bear witness that there is no true god but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own soul, and from the evil of Satan and his shirk.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite these words when you reach the morning, when you reach the evening, and when you lie down on your bed."
