The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Whenever you go to bed perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie or your right side and say:

allāhumma aslamtu wajhī ilayka, wa-fawwaḍtu amrī ilayka, wa-aljaʾtu ẓahrī ilayka, raghbatan wa-rahbatan ilayka, lā maljaʾa wa-lā manjā minka illā ilayka. allāhumma āmantu bi-kitābika alladhī anzalta, wa-bi-nabiyyika alladhī arsalta.

(O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, entrusted my affairs to You, and sought refuge with You, turning to You in hope and fear. There is no refuge and no escape from You except toward You. O Allah, I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent).

Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the religion of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep)."

I repeated it before the Prophet ﷺ and when I reached "O Allah I believe in Your Book which You have revealed," I said, "wa-rasūlika" (and your Prophet). The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, (but say): 'wa-nabiyika alladhī arsalta" (Your Prophet whom You have sent), instead.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلِ:

(اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ. اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ.)

فَإِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ فَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ».

قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ, فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ «اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ» قُلْتُ: وَرَسُولِكَ، قَالَ: «لاَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ».

Were you to die you would die on a "Sunna" (legal way) other than that of Muhammad ﷺ."

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَأَى رَجُلاً لاَ يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلاَ سُجُودَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا صَلَّيْتَ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ لَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ

Ḥudhayfah saw a person who was not bowing and prostrating perfectly ˹in prayer˺. He said to him, "You have not prayed; and if you should die you would die on a fiṭrah (natural disposition) other than that of the fiṭrah of Muhammad ﷺ."

رَأَى حُذَيْفَةُ رَجُلاً لاَ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ قَالَ: مَا صَلَّيْتَ؛ وَلَوْ مُتَّ، مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ۔

Hudhaifa said, "I saw a person not performing his bowing and prostrations perfectly. When he completed the prayer, I told him that he had not prayed." I think that Hudhaifa added (i.e. said to the man), "Had you died, you would have died on a tradition other than that of the Prophet ﷺ Muhammad."

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَأَى رَجُلاً لاَ يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهُ وَلاَ سُجُودَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ قَالَ لَهُ حُذَيْفَةُ مَا صَلَّيْتَ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَلَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Five practices are characteristics of the fiṭrah: (1) circumcision, (2) shaving the pubic region, (3) plucking the arm pits, (4) clipping the nails, and (5) cutting the mustaches."

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رِوَايَةً الْفِطْرَةُ: «خَمْسٌ» أَوْ «خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ: (١) الْخِتَانُ (٢) وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ (٣) وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ (٤) وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ (٥) وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ۔»

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "To shave the pubic hair. to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ حَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits."

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الْخِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ

The Prophet ﷺ said "Five things are in accordance with Al Fitra (i.e. the tradition of prophets): to be circumcised, to shave the pelvic region, to pull out the hair of the armpits, to cut short the moustaches, and to clip the nails.'

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الْخِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as you do for prayer, then lie down on your right side and say: 'Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fawwadtu 'amri ilaika wa alja'tu dhahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, la malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabik al-ladhi anzalta wa binabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta'. If you should die then (after reciting this) you will die on the religion of Islam (i.e., as a Muslim); so let these words be the last you say (before going to bed)" While I was memorizing it, I said, "Wa birasulika al-ladhi arsalta (in Your Apostle whom You have sent).' The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but say: Wa binabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta (in Your Prophet whom You have sent).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ وَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْتَذْكِرُهُنَّ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ قَالَ لاَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ

That the Prophet ﷺ advised a man, saying, "If you intend to lie down (i.e. go to bed), say, 'Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika wa fauwadtu ʿAmri ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, reghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabikal-ladhi anzalta; wa nabiyyikalladhi arsalta.' And if you should die then (after reciting this before going to bed) you will die on the religion of Islam"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ رَجُلاً وَحَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوْصَى رَجُلاً فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

When Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to bed, he used to sleep on his right side and then say, "All-ahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu ʿAmri ilaika, wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La Malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabika al-ladhi anzalta wa nabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta! Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever recites these words (before going to bed) and dies the same night, he will die on the Islamic religion (as a Muslim).

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ نَامَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ ثُمَّ مَاتَ تَحْتَ لَيْلَتِهِ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ {اسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ} مِنَ الرَّهْبَةِ مَلَكُوتٌ مُلْكٌ مَثَلُ رَهَبُوتٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رَحَمُوتٍ تَقُولُ تَرْهَبُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْحَمَ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No child is born but has the Islamic Faith, but its parents turn it into a Jew or a Christian. It is as you help the animals give birth. Do you find among their offspring a mutilated one before you mutilate them yourself?" The people said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What do you think about those (of them) who die young?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah knows what they would have done (were they to live)."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلاَّ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تُنْتِجُونَ الْبَهِيمَةَ هَلْ تَجِدُونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ تَجْدَعُونَهَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهْوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ {اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ}

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: *"O so-and-so, when you go to your bed, say:

allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayk, wa-wajjahtu wajhī ilayk, wa-fawwaḍtu amrī ilayk, wa-aljaʾtu ẓahrī ilayk, raghbatan wa-rahbatan ilayk, lā maljaʾa wa-lā manjā minka illā ilayk, āmantu bi-kitābika alladhī anzalta, wa-bi-nabiyyika alladhī arsalta

(O Allah, I have surrendered myself to You, turned my face to You, entrusted my affair to You, and leaned my back on You, in hope and fear of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have sent down, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.)

If you die during your night, you will die upon the fitrah, and if you reach the morning, you will attain a reward."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يَا فُلاَنُ، إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلِ:

اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ

فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ مُتَّ فِي لَيْلَتِكَ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَإِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصَبْتَ أَجْرًا»

Five are the acts quite akin to the Fitra, or five are the acts of Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubes, cutting the nails, plucking the hair under the armpits and clipping the moustache.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ أَوْ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ

Five are the acts of fitra: circumcision, removing the pubes, clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking the hair under the armpits.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الاِخْتِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Ten are the acts according to fitra: (1) clipping the mustache, (2) letting the beard grow, (3) using the siwāk/miswāk (toothstick), (4) snuffing water in the nose ˹for cleaning˺, (5) cutting the nails, (6) washing the finger joints, (7) plucking the hair under the armpits, (8) shaving the pubic hair, and (9) cleaning one's private parts with water.

The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been (10) rinsing the mouth.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ: (١) قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ (٢) وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ (٣) وَالسِّوَاكُ (٤) وَاسْتِنْشَاقُ الْمَاءِ (٥) وَقَصُّ الأَظْفَارِ (٦) وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ (٧) وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ (٨) وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ (٩) وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ۔»

قَالَ زَكَرِيَّاءُ قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ (١٠) الْمَضْمَضَةَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Ten are the acts according to fitrah (nature): clipping the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, cleansing the nose (Al-Istinshaq) with water, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the arm-pits, shaving the pubes, and cleansing one's private parts (after easing or urinating) with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَالاِسْتِنْشَاقُ بِالْمَاءِ وَقَصُّ الأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبِطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ يَعْنِي الاِسْتِنْجَاءَ بِالْمَاءِ قَالَ زَكَرِيَّا قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: The inborn characteristics of man are five. Another version says: Five things are of the inborn characteristics of man: circumcision, shaving the pubes, plucking out hair under the armpit, paring the nails and clipping the moustaches.

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ أَوْ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ

Every child is born on Islam, but his parents make him a Jew and a Christian, just as a beast is born whole. Do you find some among them (born) maimed? The people asked : Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied : Allah knows best what he was going to do.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تَنَاتَجُ الإِبِلُ مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

When you go to bed during night, you should say:" O Allah, I surrender myself to Thee and entrust my affair to Thee, with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship but Thou). I affirm my faith in the Book which Thou revealed and in the Messengers whom Thou sent." If you die in this state you would die on Fitra, and Ibn Bashshdr did not make a mention of" night" in this hadith. (Using translation from Muslim 2710c)

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "It is part of the natural disposition (Fitrah) to trim the pubic hair, clip the nails, and trim the mustache." And Is'haq said: "Trimming the mustache is also shaving the surplus of the beard."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ حَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ مَرَّةً وَقَصُّ الشَّوَارِبِ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 10)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالْخِتَانُ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Every child is born on the Fitrah (natural inclination), then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magus, just as an animal gives birth to a complete animal. Do you find it mutilated?"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ كَمَا تُنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةُ بَهِيمَةً هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ؟

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The deeds connected to the Fitrah are five (or five things are connected to the Fitrah): circumcision, shaving the pubic hairs, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hairs and trimming the mustache.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 292)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً رِوَايَةً خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Every child is born upon this religion (Islam), until their tongue is made clear by their parents making them Jews, Christians, or idolaters." They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, so how were their parents before that?" He said: "Allah knows best about what they used to do."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمِلَّةِ حَتَّى يُبِينَ عَنْهُ لِسَانُهُ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُشَرِّكَانِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 10)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالْخِتَانُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ

Every child is born on Islam, but his parents make him a Jew and a Christian, just as a beast is born whole. Do you find some among them (born) maimed? The people asked : Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied : Allah knows best what he was going to do. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4714)

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تُنْتِجُونَ الْإِبِلَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُونَ فِيهَا جَدْعَاءَ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا أَنْتُمْ تَجْدَعُونَهَا؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتُ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ؟ قَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Every child is born upon Fitrah (natural disposition), then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Zoroastrian."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُشْرِكَانِهِ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 10)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ

No babe is born but upon Fitra. It is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian or a Polytheist. A person said: Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion if they were to die before that (before reaching the age of adolescence when they can distinguish between right and wrong)? He said: It is Allah alone Who knows what they would be doing. (Using translation from Muslim 2658e)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلَّا عَلَى الْمِلَّةِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ وَيُشْرِكَانِهِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 10)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, from the fitrah (natural disposition) are using the siwak (tooth stick), rinsing the mouth, sniffing water into the nose, trimming the mustache, cutting the nails, washing the joints (parts of the body that come into contact with the ground), plucking the hair under the armpits, shaving the pubic hair, and cleaning oneself with water after using the restroom."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ أَوِ الْفِطْرَةُ الْمَضْمَضَةُ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالِاخْتِتَانُ وَالِانْتِضَاحُ

the Prophet (saas) said to a man: "When you go to lay down, or go to your bed, say: Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayka, wa al-ja'tu zahri ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja'a minka illa ilayka, amantu bi kitabikal-ladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyikal arsalta [O Allah, I have submitted my face (i.e., myself) to You, and I am under Your command (i.e., I depend upon You in all my affairs), and I put my trust in You, hoping for Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is no fleeing from You and no refuge from You except with You. I believe in Your Book that You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent).' Then if you die that night, you will die in a state of the Fitrah (nature), and if you wake in the morning you will wake with a great deal of good." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3876)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

the Prophet (saas) said to a man: "When you go to lay down, or go to your bed, say: Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayka, wa al-ja'tu zahri ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja'a minka illa ilayka, amantu bi kitabikal-ladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyikal arsalta [O Allah, I have submitted my face (i.e., myself) to You, and I am under Your command (i.e., I depend upon You in all my affairs), and I put my trust in You, hoping for Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is no fleeing from You and no refuge from You except with You. I believe in Your Book that You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent).' Then if you die that night, you will die in a state of the Fitrah (nature), and if you wake in the morning you will wake with a great deal of good." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3876)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَنَمْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقُلْ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a man lies on his bed, he should lie down on his right side, then say, 'O Allah, I submit my soul to You, and I entrust my affairs to You, and I seek refuge in You from behind me, and I turn to You with my face in awe and desire for You. There is no refuge or salvation from You except with You. I believe in Your book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.' By doing so, he will build a house for himself in Paradise or be granted a house in Paradise."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اضْطَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَوَسَّدَ يَمِينَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَفَوَّضْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَمْرِي وَأَلْجَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ ظَهْرِي وَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَجْهِي رَهْبَةً مِنْكَ وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَبَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ بُوِّئَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

the Prophet (saas) said to a man: "When you go to lay down, or go to your bed, say: Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayka, wa al-ja'tu zahri ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja'a minka illa ilayka, amantu bi kitabikal-ladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyikal arsalta [O Allah, I have submitted my face (i.e., myself) to You, and I am under Your command (i.e., I depend upon You in all my affairs), and I put my trust in You, hoping for Your reward and fearing Your punishment.

Then if you die that night, you will die in a state of the Fitrah (nature), and if you wake in the morning you will wake with a great deal of good." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3876)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلْ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَإِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصْبَحْتَ وَقَدْ أَصَبْتَ خَيْرًا

the Prophet (saas) said to a man: "When you go to lay down, or go to your bed, say: Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayka, wa al-ja'tu zahri ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja'a minka illa ilayka, amantu bi kitabikal-ladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyikal arsalta [O Allah, I have submitted my face (i.e., myself) to You, and I am under Your command (i.e., I depend upon You in all my affairs), and I put my trust in You, hoping for Your reward and fearing Your punishment.

Then if you die that night, you will die in a state of the Fitrah (nature), and if you wake in the morning you will wake with a great deal of good." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3876)

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُوَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O so-and-so, whenever you go to your bed (for sleeping) say, 'O Allah! I have surrendered myself over to you and have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You and depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is neither fleeing from You nor refuge but with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent.' If you then die on that night, then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in the morning then you will receive the reward." (See Hadith No. 323, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7488)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلْ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مِتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ مِتَّ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَإِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصَبْتَ خَيْرًا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Ten are the acts according to fitrah (nature): clipping the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, cleansing the nose (Al-Istinshaq) with water, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the arm-pits, shaving the pubes, and cleansing one's private parts (after easing or urinating) with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 53)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَاسْتِنْشَاقٌ بِالْمَاءِ وَقَصُّ الْأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ يَعْنِي الِاسْتِنْجَاءَ قَالَ زَكَرِيَّا قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi from his father that Abu Hurayra said, "There are five things from the fitra: cutting the nails, trimming the moustache, removing the hair from the armpit, shaving the pubic region and circumcision."

قَالَ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ تَقْلِيمُ الأَظَافِرِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَالاِخْتِتَانُ

[AI] One of the supplications of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was: "O Allah, grant me enjoyment of my hearing and sight until You make them my inheritance, and make me well in my religion, body, and help me against those who wrong me, until You show me vengeance against them. O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, and entrusted my affair to You, and have relied on You for protection from the back, and directed my face towards You. There is no refuge from You except to You. I have believed in Your Messenger whom You have sent, and in Your Book which You have revealed."

كَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي حَتَّى تَجْعَلَهُمَا الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي وَعَافِنِي فِي دِينِي وَجَسَدِي وَانْصُرْنِي مِمَّنْ ظَلَمَنِي حَتَّى تُرِيَنِي فِيهِ ثَأْرِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَخَلَّيْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَبِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ»

Every child is born on Islam, but his parents make him a Jew and a Christian, just as a beast is born whole. Do you find some among them (born) maimed? The people asked : Messenger of Allah! What do you think about the one who died while he was young? He replied : Allah knows best what he was going to do. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4714)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ وَيُنَصِّرَانِهِ كَمَا تُنَاتَجُ الْإِبِلُ مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ»؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمُوتَ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا كَانُوا عَامِلِينَ»

[AI] Hudhaifah saw a man at the gates of Kindah knocking, so he said, "How long have you been praying this prayer?" He replied, "For forty years." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to die, I would die upon a way other than the way that Muhammad ﷺ was upon. Indeed, the man lightens and completes the bowing and prostration."

رَأَى حُذَيْفَةُ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ يَنْقُرُ فَقَالَ «مُذْ كَمْ صَلَّيْتَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ؟ » قَالَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً؟ قَالَ «لَوْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فُطِرَ عَلَيْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ وَيُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The natural disposition is trimming the mustache and clipping the nails and shaving the pubic hair."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْفِطْرَةُ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 10)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظَافِرِ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالْخِتَانُ»

The Prophet ﷺ said "Five things are in accordance with Al Fitra (i.e. the tradition of prophets): to be circumcised, to shave the pelvic region, to pull out the hair of the armpits, to cut short the moustaches, and to clip the nails.' (Using translation from Bukhārī 6297)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الِاخْتِتَانُ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظَافِرِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ»

"The Fitrah are five: Circumcision, removing the pubes, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hairs." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 9)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ تَقْلِيمُ الْأَظَافِرِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَالْخِتَانُ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ»

The Prophet ﷺ as saying: The inborn characteristics of man are five. Another version says: Five things are of the inborn characteristics of man: circumcision, shaving the pubes, plucking out hair under the armpit, paring the nails and clipping the moustaches. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4198)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ الْخِتَانُ وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ»

When you go to bed during night, you should say:" O Allah, I surrender myself to Thee and entrust my affair to Thee, with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship but Thou). I affirm my faith in the Book which Thou revealed and in the Messengers whom Thou sent." If you die in this state you would die on Fitra, and Ibn Bashshdr did not make a mention of" night" in this hadith. (Using translation from Muslim 2710c)

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَوْصَى رَجُلًا أَنْ يَقُولَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ»

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said to me: When you go to your bed, perform ablution like the ablution for prayer, and then lie on your right side and say: O Allah I have handed over my face to thee, entrusted my affairs to thee, and committed my back to thee out of desire for and fear to thee. There is no refuge and no place of safety from thee except by having recource to thee. I believe in Thy Book which Thou hast sent down and in Thy prophet whom thou hast sent down. He said : If you die (that night), you would die in the true religion, and utter these words in the last of that you utter (other prayers). Al-Bara said : I said: I memorise them, and then I repeated, saying “and in Thy Apostle whom Thou hast sent”. He said : No, say : “and in Thy Prophet whom Thou hast sent. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5046)

نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَاجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ فَإِنْ مِتَّ مِتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ» فَقُلْتُ أَسْتَذْكِرُهُنَّ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ «وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ»

[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ that whenever he lay down on his bed, he would say, "O Allah, I have surrendered my soul to You, and I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my affair to You, seeking Your pleasure and fearing Your displeasure. There is no refuge or escape from You except to You."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ»
