[Machine] "He heard Muawiyah during the year of Hajj while he was on the pulpit reciting a poem that was in the hands of a guard. He said, 'O people of the city, where are your scholars? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding such actions and saying, 'Indeed, the people of Bani Israel were destroyed when their women started doing this.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَامَ حَجَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ تَنَاوَلَ قُصَّةً مِنْ شَعْرٍ كَانَتْ فِي يَدِ حَرَسِيٍّ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَيْنَ عُلَمَاؤُكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذِهِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ حَيْثُ اتَّخَذَ هَذِهِ نِسَاؤُهُمْ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the woman who adds some false hair and the woman who asks for it, the woman who tattoos and the woman who asks for it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4168)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَعَنَ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ وَالْوَاشِمَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ»  

[Machine] I heard Aisha say, "They married off their slave girl and she got sick, so they shaved her hair. They wanted to use extensions in her hair, so they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'May Allah curse the one who adds extensions and the one who has it done, and the one who joins them.'"  

سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ جَارِيَةً زَوَّجُوهَا فَمَرِضَتْ فَتَمَعَّطَ شَعْرُهَا فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَصِلُوا فِي شَعْرِهَا فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ وَالْمُوَاصَلَةَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a woman from shaving her head.  

«زَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَصِلَ الْمَرْأَةُ بِرَأْسِهَا شَيْئًا»  

A'isha reported that a girl of the Ansar who had fallen ill and had lost the hair was married. They (her relatives) thought of adding false hair (to her head). so they asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, whereupon he cursed the woman who adds false hair and the woman who asks for it. (Using translation from Muslim 2123a)  

أَنْ يَصِلُوهَا فَسَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَعَنَ الْوَاصِلَةَ وَالْمُسْتَوْصِلَةَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "If you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge in Allah, for indeed they see what you do not see. And limit your going out when the man of the house becomes calm, for Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, sends forth from His creations during the night whatever He wills. And close the doors and mention the name of Allah upon them, for indeed Satan does not open a closed door upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned. And cover the vessels and extinguish the lamps, and secure the containers, and quench the fires."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ كِلَابٍ أَوْ نُهَاقَ حُمْرٍ بِاللَّيْلِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ وَأَقِلُّوا الْخُرُوجَ إِذَا هَدَأَتِ الرِّجْلُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يَبُثُّ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فِي لَيْلِهِ مَا شَاءَ وَأَجِيفُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا أُجِيفَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَغَطُّوا الْجِرَارَ وَاكْفَئُوا الْآنِيَةَ وَأَوْكُوا الْقِرَبَ»  

A mouse came dragging a wick and dropped before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the mat on which he was sitting with the result that it burned a hole in it about the size of dirham. He (the prophet) said: When you go to sleep, extinguish your lamps, for the devil guides a creature like this to do thus and sets you on fire. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5247)   

جَاءَتْ فَأَرَةٌ فَأَخَذَتْ تَجُرُّ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَذَهَبَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ تَزْجُرُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «دَعِيهَا» قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهَا فَأَلْقَتْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا قَاعِدًا فَأَحْرَقَتْ مِنْهَا مِثْلَ مَوْضِعِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا سُرُجَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدُلُّ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ عَلَى هَذَا فَتُحْرِقُكُمْ»  

Abu Musa reported that a house was burnt down in Medina during the night over its inhabitants. When their matter was reported to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said; This fire is an enemy of yours. So when you go to sleep, extinguish it. (Using translation from Muslim 2016)  

احْتَرَقَ بَيْتٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا حُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَأْنِهِمْ قَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ عَدُوُّكُمْ فَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوهَا عَنْكُمْ»  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever spends the night with [a smell] on his hand and something happens to him, then let him not blame anyone but himself." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1860)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ بَاتَ وَفِي يَدِهِ غَمَرٌ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ عَارِضٌ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ»  

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text is: The Messenger of Allahﷺ used to place his right hand under his right cheek when he lay down, and then he would say, "O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day when You resurrect Your servants."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allahﷺ that when he lay down to sleep, he would place his right hand under his right cheek and say, "O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day You resurrect Your servants."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا اضْطَجَعَ لِيَنَامَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ»  

Fāṭimah came to the Prophet ﷺ to complain about the marks on her hands from grinding flour. She heard that the Prophet ﷺ had received some captives, so she went to him to request a servant but did not find him. Instead, she met ʿĀʾishah and shared her request with her. When the Prophet ﷺ returned, ʿĀʾishah informed him about Fāṭimah's request.

So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, and we had already taken our places in bed. We got up to greet him, and he said, "Stay in your places." He then sat among us until I felt the coolness of his feet on my chest. He then said, "I shall guide you to something better than having a servant: When you go to bed, say Allāhu akbar (Allah is the Greatest) thirty-four times, al-ḥamdu lillāh (Praise be to Allah) thirty-three times, and subḥān Allāh (Glory be to Allah) thirty-three times; This is better for you than having a servant."  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ أَثَرَ الرَّحَى وَبَلَغَهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِسَبْيٍ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ خَادِمًا فَلَمْ تَلْقَهُ وَلَقِيَتْ عَائِشَةَ فَحَدَّثَتْهَا الْحَدِيثَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَتْهُ بِذَلِكَ

فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا فَذَهَبْنَا لِنَقُومَ فَقَالَ «مَكَانَكُمَا» وَقَعَدَ بَيْنَنَا حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمِهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي فَقَالَ «أَدَلُّكَمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَانِي: تُكَبِّرَانِ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُسَبِّحَانِ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدَانِ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِنْ خَادِمٍ»  

[Machine] "I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Prophet of Allah, teach me something that I can say when I go to my bed.' He said, 'Recite Surah Al-Kafirun.'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ إِذَا أَوَيْتُ إِلَى فِرَاشِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have someone to take care of us in Rabi'ah? Zainab, will you take care of her?" He replied, "I left her with her mother." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "What brings you here?" He said, "I came to learn something to say in my dream." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite Say, 'O disbelievers' and then sleep on its end, for it is a disavowal of polytheism."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ فِي رَبِيبَةٍ لَنَا فَتَكْفُلُهَا زَيْنَبُ؟ » قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَأَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَرَكْتُهَا عِنْدَ أُمِّهَا قَالَ «فَمَجِيءٌ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ » قَالَ جِئْتُ لِتُعَلِّمَنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ مَنَامِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ثُمَّ نَمْ عَلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا فَإِنَّهَا بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ»  

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»  

from the Prophet ﷺ : "Whoever says when he retires to his bed, 'There is no God but Allah alone without any partners, to Him belong the dominion and praise and He is powerful over all things, there is no movement or might but in Allah, glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Allah, there is not God but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, then Allah will forgive his sins even if they were like the foam of the sea."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ ذُنُوبَهُ أَوْ خَطَايَاهُ شَكَّ مِسْعَرٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ»  

[Machine] That Fatimah came to the Prophet ﷺ and used to serve him, so he said ﷺ , "Shall I not guide you or teach you something that is better for you than that? When you go to your bed, say 'SubhanAllah', 'Allahu Akbar', and 'Alhamdulillah', thirty-three times each." Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have not left saying it since I heard it from the Prophet ﷺ ." They said, "Not even during the night of Siffin?" He said, "Not even during the night of Siffin."  

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَسْتَخْدِمُهُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكِ أَوْ أُعَلِّمُكِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَوَيْتِ إِلَى فِرَاشِكِ فَسَبِّحِي وَكَبِّرِي وَهَلِّلِي ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَأَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَلَمْ أَدَعْهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالُوا وَلَا لَيْلَةَ صِفِّينَ؟ قَالَ وَلَا لَيْلَةَ صِفِّينَ  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up during the night, he would say: "There is no god but Allah, the One, the Prevailing, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Mighty, the Forgiving.""  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَضَوَّرَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ awake at night, he said: There is no god but thou, glory be to Thee, O Allah, I ask Thy pardon for my sin and I ask Thee for Thy mercy. O Allah! advance me in knowledge: do not cause my heart to deviate (from guidance) after Thou hast guided me, and grant me mercy from thyself; verily thou art the grantor. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5061)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِذَنْبِي وَأَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَتَكَ اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا وَلَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ أَنْ هَدَيْتَنِيَ وَهَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ»  

when the prophet (May peace be upon him) lay down on his bed (at night), he would say: O Allah! In Thy name I die and live. When he awoke, he said: praise be to Allah who has given us life after causing us to die and to whom we shall be resurrected. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5049)   

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَحْيَا وَبِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ» وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَمَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ»  

[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."  

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»  

When any one of you goes to bed, he should take hold of the hem of his lower garment and then should clean (his bed) with the help of that and then should recite the name of Allah for he himself does tiot know what he left behind him on his bed, and when he intends to lie on bed, he should lie on his right side and utter these words:" Hallowed be Allah, my Lord. It is with Thine (grace) that I place my side (upon the bed) and it is with Thee that I take it up (after sleep), and in case Thou withholdst my being (if thou causest me to die), then grant pardon to my being, and if Thou keepst (this process of breathing on), then protect it with that with which Thou protected Thine pious servants." (Using translation from Muslim 2714a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَأْخُذْ دَاخِلَةَ إِزَارَهُ فَلْيَنْفُضْ بِهَا فِرَاشَهُ وَيُسَمِّي اللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا خَلَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنَ وَلْيَقُلْ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبِّي بِكَ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا حَفِظْتَ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "When one of you goes to bed, let him take off his garment and shake it off his bed inside it. Then let him lie down on his right side and say: 'In Your name, O Allah, I lay down my side, and in Your name, I raise it. O Allah, if You hold onto my soul, have mercy on it, and if You let it go, protect it with what You protect Your righteous servants.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «» إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَنْزِعْ إِزَارَهُ وَلْيَنْفُضْ بِدَاخِلَتِهَا فِرَاشَهُ ثُمَّ لْيَتَوَسَّدْ يَمِينَهُ وَيَقُولُ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَضَعُ جَنْبِي وَبِكَ ارْفَعُهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَهَا فَارْحَمْهَا وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ»  

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»  

When any one of you intends to go to sleep, he should lie on the bed on his right side and then say:" O Allah. the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Earth and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of evervthina, the Splitter of the grain of corn and the datestone (or fruit kernal), the Revealer of Torah and Injil (Bible) and Criterion (the Holy Qur'an), I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of every- thing Thou art to sieze by the forelock (Thou hast perfect control over it). O Allah, Thou art the First, there is naught before Thee, and Thou art the Last and there is naught after Thee, and Thou art Evident and there is nothing above Thee, and Thou art Innermost and there is nothing beyond Thee. Remove the burden of debt from us and relieve us from want." Abu Salih used to narrate it from Abu Huraira who narrated it from Allah's Apostle ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2713a)  

كَانَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يَنَامَ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَاغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ» وَكَانَ يَرْوِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to his bed, he would say: Praise be to Allah Who has given me sufficiency, has guarded me, given me food and drink, been most gracious to me, and given to me most lavishly. Praise be to Allah in every circumstance. O Allah! Lord and King of everything, God of everything, I seek refuge in Thee from Hell. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5058)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا تَبَوَّأَ مَضْجَعَهُ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَفَانِي وَآوَانِي وَسَقَانِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَفْضَلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي فَأَجْزَلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَالِكَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِلَهَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ» *  

When the Prophet ﷺ went to bed, he used to say, "Allahumma bismika ahya wa amut." And when he woke up in the mornings he used to say, "Al-hamdu li l-lahi al-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilaihi-nnushur." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7394)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا» وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَمَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ»  

When the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) went to his bed, he would say: Praise be to Allah who has fed us, given us drink, satisfied us and given us refuge. Many there are who have no one to provide sufficiency for them, or give them refuge. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5053)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَكَفَانَا فَكَمْ مِمَّنْ لَا كَافِيَ لَهُ وَلَا مُؤْوِيَ»  

[Machine] "O Allah, You have created my soul and it is You who will take its life. To You belongs its death and its resurrection. O Allah, if You cause it to die, then forgive it. And if You give it life, then protect it. O Allah, I ask You for well-being." A man said to him, "Was it Umar who used to say this?" He replied, "No, it was better than Umar who used to say it. We thought that he had learned it from the Prophet ﷺ."  

«اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ تَتَوَفَّاهَا لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْيَاهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهَا فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا وَإِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ أَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ بَلْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُهُ فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] 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»  

[Machine] The translation is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to gather his hands when he wanted to sleep, then blow into them, then recite "Say: He is Allah, (the) One" and "Say: I seek refuge with (the) Lord (of) the daybreak" and "Say: I seek refuge with (the) Lord (of) mankind" Then he would wipe his face, head, and the rest of his body with them." Aqil said, "And I saw Ibn Shihab doing that."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ النَّوْمَ جَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَفَثَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَرَأْسَهُ وَسَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ» قَالَ عَقِيلٌ وَرَأَيْتُ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ  

Every night when he prophet (May peace be upon him) went to his bed, he joined his hands and breathed into them, reciting into them:”say: he is Allah, One” and say ; I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn and Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men. Then he would wipe as much of his body as he could with his hands, beginning with his head, his face and the front of his body, doing that three times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5056)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ جَمَعَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ نَفَثَ فِيهِمَا وَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ يَسْمَحُ بِهِمَا مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ»  

[Machine] I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, teach me something that I can say when I go to my bed." He said, "Recite Surah Al-Kafirun."  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ إِذَا أَوَيْتُ إِلَى فِرَاشِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have a rabeepah (slave girl) that you can give to us as a trust?" He (the person being asked) said, "I left her with her mother." The Prophet ﷺ said, "What brought you here then?" He (the person being asked) said, "I came so that you can teach me something to say in my dream." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite 'Say, O disbelievers' and then sleep on its completion, for it is a form of protection from shirk (associating partners with Allah)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ لَكَ فِي رَبِيبَةٍ لَنَا فَتَكْفُلُهَا زَيْنَبُ؟ » قَالَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَأَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَرَكْتُهَا عِنْدَ أُمِّهَا قَالَ «فَمَجِيءٌ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ » قَالَ جِئْتُ لِتُعَمِّلَنِي شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ مَنَامِي قَالَ «اقْرَأْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ثُمَّ نَمْ عَلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا فَإِنَّهَا بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ»  

[Machine] Aisha heard me while I was speaking after the last evening prayer, so she said, "Oh Urayyah, don't you give your scribe a rest? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to not sleep before it, nor speak after it."  

سَمِعَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَقَالَتْ «يَا عُرَيُّ أَلَا تُرِيحُ كَاتِبَكَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَنَامُ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا يَتَحَدَّثُ بَعْدَهَا» *  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade sleeping before the night prayer and talking after it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4849)   

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ النَّوْمِ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثِ بَعْدَهَا يَعْنِي عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man lying on his stomach and nudged him with his foot, saying, "Verily, this is a sleeping position that Allah does not like."  

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُضْطَجِعٍ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ فَغَمَزَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ ضِجْعَةٌ لَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ»  

'Abbad b. Tamim reported from his uncle that he saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ lying in the mosque and placing his one foot upon the other. (Using translation from Muslim 2100a)  

«أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُسْتَلْقِيًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى»  

Jabir reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the wrapping of oneself completely leaving no room for the arm and supporting oneself when sitting with a single garment wrapped round one's knees and a person raising one of his feet and placing it on the other while lying on his back. (Using translation from Muslim 2099c)  

«عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ اشْتِمَالِ الصَّمَّاءِ وَالِاحْتِبَاءِ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَنْ يَرْفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَهُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is forbidden for a man to lie down and bend one of his legs over the other.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يَسْتَلْقِيَ الرَّجُلُ وَيَثْنِيَ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were in the battlefield after Maghrib prayer, and he said, "Oh so-and-so, go with so-and-so, and oh so-and-so, go with so-and-so," until he sent five of us. I was the fifth one, and he said, "Come with me." So we followed him and entered upon Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) before she had put on her veil. He said, "Oh Aishah, feed us." So she brought some bread close to him. He said, "Oh Aishah, feed us." So she brought some dates close to him. He said, "Oh Aishah, give us something to drink." So she brought a jug of water and he drank from it. Then he said, "Oh Aishah, give us something to drink." So she brought a jug of water other than the first one, and he drank from it. Then he said, "If you want, you can sleep here with us, or if you prefer, you can go to the masjid and sleep there." He said, "So we slept in the masjid. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us later in the night and he found me sleeping on my stomach, so he kicked me with his foot and said, "What is the matter with you? This is a sleeping position that Allah dislikes or hates."  

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقَالَ «يَا فُلَانُ انْطَلِقْ مَعَ فُلَانٍ وَيَا فُلَانُ انْطَلِقِ مَعَ فُلَانٍ» حَتَّى بَعَثَ خَمْسَةً أَنَا خَامِسُهُمُ فَقَالَ «قُومُوا مَعِي» فَفَعَلْنَا فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ فَقَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَطْعِمِينَا» فَقَرَّبَتْ جَشِيشَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ أَطْعِمِينَا» فَقَرَّبَتْ حَيْسًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ اسْقِينَا» فَجَاءَتْ بِعُسٍّ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ اسْقِينَا» فَجَاءَتْ بِعُسٍّ دُونَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتُمْ نِمْتُمْ عِنْدَنَا وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَتَيْتُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَنِمْتُمْ فِيهِ» قَالَ فَنِمْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَأَصَابَنِي نَائِمًا عَلَى بَطْنِي فَرَكَضَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا لَكَ وَلِهَذِهِ النَّوْمَةِ هَذِهِ نَوْمَةٌ يَكْرَهُهَا اللَّهُ أَوْ يُبْغِضُهَا اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A person should not recline on one side and place one leg on top of the other."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَسْتَلْقِ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَيَضَعْ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى»
