740 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ عِنْدَ مَضْجَعِهِ، أَوْ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُقَالَ عِنْدَ الْمَضْجَعِ، أَوْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ عِنْدَ مَضْجَعِي، - شَكَّ فِيهِ سُفْيَانُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيَّتُهُنَّ - قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي، وَإِلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي، وَإِلَيْكَ فَوَّضَتُ أَمْرِي، وَإِلَيْكَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي رَغْبَةً، وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ» ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ، فَأَبَي، وَقَالَ: «لَا، وَنَبِيِّكَ»
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this when going to sleep (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed that this should be recited when going to sleep. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to recite these words when going to sleep. This doubt is from the narrator named Sufyan as to which of these words are correct. These are the words: “O Allah! I turn my face towards You, I entrust myself to You, I hand over my affairs to You, I rely on You with my back. Out of desire for You and fear of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.” So people said to him (i.e., to Sufyan): In the narration, the words are: “I believe in Your Messenger whom You have sent.” But he did not accept this and said: These are the words: “I believe in Your Prophet.”
