It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever, upon coming to his bed, recites this supplication three times: "Astaghfirullaha alladhi la ilaha illa huwa al-hayyul-qayyum wa atubu ilayh" (I seek forgiveness from Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, and I turn to Him in repentance), then Allah Almighty forgives his sins, even if they are as much as the foam of the sea, or as much as the sand of the place of 'Aalij (in the evening), or even as much as the leaves of the trees.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to his bed, he would recite this supplication: "All praise is due to Allah who has fed us, given us drink, sufficed us, and sheltered us. And how many are there who have no one to suffice them and no one to shelter them." (All praise is for Allah who fed us, gave us drink, sufficed us, and gave us shelter; so how many are there whose needs are not fulfilled and who have no one to give them shelter.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed an Ansari man that when he comes to his bed, he should recite this supplication:“O Allah! I have submitted my soul to You, I have turned my face towards You, I have entrusted my affairs to You, and I have leaned my back upon You, out of desire and fear towards You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I have believed in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If he dies that night, he will die upon the natural faith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you go to your bed, perform ablution, then lie down on your right side and say:“O Allah, I have submitted my face to You…”Then he mentioned a hadith similar to the previous one… However, its last words are as follows: So if you die, you will die upon the natural disposition of Islam.

(Third chain) With the previous chain, a narration similar in meaning to the previous narration is mentioned, except that in this one the words are as follows: So perform the ablution for prayer, ... recite this supplication at the end (that is, after this, remain silent and go to sleep). Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I recited this supplication to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when I reached the words“with Your Book which You have revealed,”I said:“and with Your Messenger,”but he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather the words are:“and with Your Prophet whom You have sent.”In one narration it is stated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you die that night, you will die upon the natural disposition (fitrah), and if you remain alive until morning, you will attain much goodness.

(Fourth chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When a person goes to sleep, he should place his right hand under his head and then recite this supplication: "O Allah, to You I have submitted my soul..." Then a hadith similar to the previous one was mentioned, except that in this one it is stated: If he dies that night, a house will be built for him in Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to sleep, he would place his right hand under his right cheek and recite this supplication:“O Allah! Save me from Your punishment on the Day when You will resurrect Your servants.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Waleed bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: O Messenger of Allah! I feel loneliness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you come to your bed, recite this supplication: "A‘udhu bikalimatillahi at-tammati min ghadabihi wa ‘iqabihi wa sharri ‘ibadihi wa min hamazatish-shayateeni wa an yahdurun." (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger, His punishment, the evil of His servants, the whispers of devils, and from their presence near me.) Then the devil will not harm you; rather, it is most likely that he will not even come near you.

It is narrated from Abu Abdur Rahman Hubli, he says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) took out a paper for us and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach us this supplication: "O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You are the Lord of everything and the God of everything. I bear witness that there is no god but You, You are alone, You have no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Messenger, and the angels also bear witness to this. I seek refuge in You from Satan and his associating (others with You), and I seek refuge in You lest I commit a sin against myself or bring it upon a Muslim." Abu Abdur Rahman said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught this supplication to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that when he wishes to sleep, he should recite this supplication at that time.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) complained to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) about the marks on her hands caused by grinding flour. When some captives were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), she came to him to request a servant, but he was not at home, so she returned. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came to us while we had already lain down. I wanted to get up for him, but he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Remain lying in your place. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came and sat down, and I felt the coolness of his feet. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Shall I not tell you of an act that is better for you than a servant? When you go to bed, say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times.
