Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any person goes to his bed, he should take the edge of his lower garment and, using its inner side, dust off his bed. Then he should lie down on his right side and recite: 'O Allah! In Your name I lay down my side (on the bed), and with Your help I will raise it up: O Allah! If You take my soul, then have mercy on it, and if You release it, then protect it with that which You protect Your righteous servants.'"

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Sa'id Maqburi heard this narration from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he also heard this narration from his father, who narrated it from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). Both chains are preserved.
