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)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ لِيَكُنْ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ فَقُلِ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْتَذْكِرُهُنَّ قُلْتُ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ قَالَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said to him: “Should I not teach you some words to say when you go to your bed, so if you died, you will die upon the Fitrah, and if you reach the morning, you will reach it in good? You say: ‘O Allah, verily, I submit myself to You, and I turn my face to You, and I entrust my affair to You, hoping in You and fearing in You. And I lay myself down depending upon You, there is no refuge [nor escape] from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent (Allāhumma innī aslamtu nafsī ilaika wa wajjahtu wajhī ilaika, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika wa alja'tu ẓahrī ilaika, lā malja'a [wa lā manjā] minka illā ilaik. Āmantu bikitābikal-ladhī anzalta wa binabiyyikal-ladhī arsalt).’” Al-Bara' said: “So I said: ‘And in Your Messenger whom you have sent.’” He said: “So he ﷺ struck his hand upon my chest, then said: “And in Your Prophet whom You have sent. (Wa binabiyyikal-ladhī arsalt).” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3394)   

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا تَقُولُ يَا بَرَاءُ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ طَاهِرًا فَتَوَسَّدْ يَمِينَكَ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَقُلْتُ كَمَا قَالَ إِلَّا أَنِّي قُلْتُ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ «وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَهَا مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When any of you lies down at night, he should put his right hand under his cheek and then say: 'In the name of Allah, O Allah, I surrender myself to You, I submit my back to You, I entrust my affairs to You, and I turn my face towards You out of fear and hope of You. There is no refuge nor escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.' Whoever says this and then dies, he will die upon the Fitrah (the natural uncorrupted state).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلْيَتَوَسَّدْ يَمِينَهُ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ رَهْبَةً مِنْكَ وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ مَنْ قَالَهَا ثُمَّ 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)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ تَوَسَّدَ يَمِينَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «بِاسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي وَأَلْجَأْتُ إِلَيْكَ ظَهْرِي وَفَوَّضْتُ إِلَيْكَ أَمْرِي وَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَجْهِي رَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ وَرَهْبَةً مِنْكَ وَلَا مَنْجَى وَلَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَفَرَّ مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ»  

[Machine] "To say, 'O Allah, I have submitted my soul to You, and I have turned my face to You, and I have entrusted my affair to You, and I have sought refuge in You out of desire and fear of You. There is no refuge or escape from You except to You. I have believed in Your Book that You revealed and in Your Messenger whom You sent. So if he dies, he dies upon the natural way.'"  

أَنْ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَنْجَى وَلَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ» 10555 أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
