[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you goes to his bed, an angel and a devil come to him. The devil makes him open his mouth with evil, while the angel makes him open his mouth with good. If he remembers Allah, the devil goes away and the angel stays with him. When he wakes up, an angel and a devil come to him. The devil makes him open his mouth with evil, while the angel makes him open his mouth with good. If he says 'Alhamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah) who restored my soul to me after taking it in sleep, the devil goes away and the angel stays with him. If he gets up and prays, the angel keeps praying for goodness."

الحاكم:٢٠١١ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْقَزَّازُ ثنا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ثنا هِشَامٌ صَاحِبُ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ ثنا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ وَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ ذَهَبَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَيَأْتِي الْمَلَكُ وَيَكْلَؤُهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ يَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ وَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ فَإِنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ فَإِنْ خَرَّ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ مَاتَ شَهِيدًا وَإِنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى صَلَّى فِي الْفَضَائِلِ «»

ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي إِذَا قَالَهُ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ اسْتِيقَاظِهِ مِنَ النَّوْمِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ بِقَوْلِهِ ذَلِكَ إِنْ أَدْرَكَتْهُ مَنِيَّتُهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a person goes to sleep on his bed, an angel and a devil come to him. The angel says, 'Seal it with good,' and the devil says, 'Seal it with evil.' If the person remembers Allah and then falls asleep, the angels protect him. If he wakes up, the angel says, 'Open it with good,' and the devil says, 'Open it with evil.' If the person says, 'Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) who has returned my soul to me and has not caused it to die in its sleep,' and then he dies in his sleep, he enters paradise."

ابن حبّان:٥٥٣٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الصَّوَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَوَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ اخْتِمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ اخْتِمْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ نَامَ بَاتَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَكْلَؤُهُ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ عَلَيَّ نَفْسِي وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولَا» إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ فَإِنْ وَقَعَ مِنْ سَرِيرِهِ فَمَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , "When a man enters his house or goes to his bed, an angel and a devil approach him. The angel says, 'Open with goodness,' and the devil says, 'Open with evil.' If the man mentions Allah, the angel drives away the devil and stays with him. Then, when he wakes up from his sleep, an angel and a devil approach him. The angel says, 'Open with goodness,' and the devil says, 'Open with evil.' If the man praises Allah and says, 'Praise be to Allah who has returned my soul to me after its death and has not made me die in my sleep. Praise be to Allah who holds the seven heavens from falling onto the Earth except with His permission,' then if he rises from his bed, he is rewarded as a martyr. And if he stands up to pray, he performs extra virtuous acts."

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٦٢٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ أَوْ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ وَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللهَ طَرَدَ الْمَلَكُ الشَّيْطَانَ وَظَلَّ يَكْلَؤُهُ فَإِذَا انْتَبَهَ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ ابْتَدَرَهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ وَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ هُوَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَإِنْ هُوَ خَرَّ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ فَمَاتَ كَانَ شَهِيدًا وَإِنْ هُوَ قَامَ يُصَلِّي صَلَّى فِي فَضَائِلَ
