باب الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ:Chapter on supplication at bedtime
Hadith 2718
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ: "اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ، مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ".
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed a companion that “when he reaches his bed, he should recite this supplication: «اَللّٰهُمَّ اَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ ...... وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِيْ أَرْسَلْتَ» Translation: O Allah! I have surrendered my soul to You, and I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my affairs to You. I have relied upon You in hope of Your reward and in fear of Your punishment. There is no refuge and no escape except with You. I believe in the Book which You have revealed and in the Prophet whom You have sent. Then, if he dies that night, he will die upon the natural disposition (fitrah).”
