Riyad as-Salihin - On what to say when going to sleep Hadith

Chapter: On what to say when
going to sleep

 

Allah Almighty says, "In the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of
intelligence: those who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying on their
sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth."
(3:190-191)

 

1458. Hudhayfa and Abu Dharr reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to bed, he said, "In Your name, O
Allah, I live and die." [al-Bukhari]

1459. 'Ali stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to him and Fatima, "When you retire to your bed, - or when you
take yourselves to bed - say 'Allah is greater' thirty-three times, glorify
Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times." One variant has,
"Glorify Allah thirty-four times," and one variant, "Say 'Allah is greater'
thirty-four times." [Agreed upon]

1460. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When one of you retires to bed, he should wipe over
his bed with the inside of his wrapper. He does not know what might have been on
it after him. Then he should say, 'By Your name, my Lord, I have lain on my side
and I have raised it up by You. If You keep my soul, show mercy to it. If You
release it, then protect it in the way You protect Your virtuous slaves.'"
[Agreed upon]

1461. 'A'isha reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, went to bed, he would spit into his hands and recite the
two suras of refuge and wipe his body with them." [Agreed upon]

In one of their variants, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, retired to bed every night he would put his palms together and then
spit into them and recite into them, 'Say: He is Allah, One,' 'Say: I seek
refuge with the Lord of daybreak,' and 'Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of
people,' and then wipe as much of his body as he could with them. He would begin
with his head and face and then the rest of his body. He would do that three
times." [Agreed upon]

1462. Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to me, 'When you go to your bed, do wudu' as you do
for the prayer and then lie down on your right side and said, 'O Allah, I have
surrendered my soul to You and I have entrusted my affair to You and I have
sought refuge in You out of desire for You and fear of You. There is no shelter
nor place of safety from You except with You. I have believed in Your Book which
You sent down and Your Prophet whom You sent.' Then if you die, you will die in
the natural harmonious form of man. Make them the last thing that you say."
[Agreed upon]

1463. Anas reported that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, retired to his bed, he said, "Praise be to Allah who has fed us and given
us to drink and given us enough and given us a refuge. How many people there are
who have no one to give them enough nor any refuge!" [Muslim]

1464. Hudhayfa reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, wanted to lie down, he would place his right hand under his
cheek and then say, 'O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day when
You raise up Your slaves.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

Abu Dawud related it from Hafsa.
