"عَنِ الْبَرَاء قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: قُولُوا هؤُلاَءِ الكَلمَاتِ عِنْدَ الْمَضْجَع وَيُعَلِّمُنَاهُنَّ: اللَّهُمَّ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ، وَأسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِى إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ، رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَل".
See similar narrations below:
Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Tirmidhī, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ḥākim, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīThat 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
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)
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
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.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ رَجُلاً إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ
The Prophet said: “When one of you lies down on his right side, then says: ‘O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, and I have turned my face to You, and I lay myself down relying upon You, and I have entrusted my affair to You, there is no refuge [nor escape] from You except to You. I believe in Your Book and Your Messengers (Allāhumma innī aslamtu nafsī ilaika wa wajjahtu wajhī ilaika, wa alja’tu ẓahrī ilaika, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilaika, lā malja'a [wa lā manjā] minka illā ilaik, ūminu bikitābika wa birusulika)’ – then if he dies that night, he shall enter Paradise.”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اضْطَجَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ أُومِنُ بِكِتَابِكَ وَبِرُسُلِكَ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
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)

[Machine] 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

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.

[Machine] 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»

[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] "When he used to sleep, he would say: 'O Allah, I submit my soul to You, and I turn my face towards You, and I entrust my affair to You, and I seek refuge in You for my back. I have believed in Your revealed Book and in Your sent Prophet.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَنْجَى وَلَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَرَسُولِكَ 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)
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
[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
[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
"أَلا أُعلمُكَ كلمات تقولها إِذا أَويتَ إِلى فراشِكَ فإِن متَّ من ليلتِكَ متَّ على الفطرة وإِن أَصبحت أَصبحت وقد أَصبت خيرًا؟ تقول: اللهمَّ أسلمتُ نفْسِى إِليك، ووجهتُ وجهى إِليك، وفوَّضت أمرى إِليك، رغبةً ورهبةً إِليكَ، وأَلجأت ظهرى إليك، لا ملجأ ولا منجَى منك إِلَّا إِليكَ آمنتُ بكتابك الَّذى أنزلت ونبيك الذى أرسلت".
"مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنَامَ عَلَى الْفِطرةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ الله النَّاسَ عَلَيهَا، فَليَقُلْ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِراشِهِ: اللَّهُمَّ ربِّي ومليكي وإِلهي، لَا إِله إِلا أَنْتَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ نَفسِي إِلَيكَ، ووجَّهْتُ وجْهي إِلَيكَ، وفَوَّضْت أَمْرِي إِلَيكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيكَ، لا مَلْجَأَ ولا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلا إِلَيكَ، آمنْتُ بِكِتَابكَ الَّذِي أَنْزلْتَ، وبِنَبيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ".

"إذا أخذت مضجعك فتوضأ وضوءَك للصلاةِ، ثم اضطجع على شقِّك الأيمنِ، ثم قل: اللهم أسلمت وجهي إليك، وفوَّضْتُ أمرى إليكَ، وألجأَت ظهرى إليكَ، رغبة ورهبةً إليك، لا ملجأ ولا منجى منك إِلا إِليك، آمنتُ بِكتابك الذي أنزلتَ، وبنبيك الذي أرسلت، واجعله آخرَ ما تقولُ، فإن متَّ في ليلَتِك متَّ على الفِطْرَةِ".
The Prophet said: “When one of you lies down on his right side, then says: ‘O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, and I have turned my face to You, and I lay myself down relying upon You, and I have entrusted my affair to You, there is no refuge [nor escape] from You except to You. I believe in Your Book and Your Messengers (Allāhumma innī aslamtu nafsī ilaika wa wajjahtu wajhī ilaika, wa alja’tu ẓahrī ilaika, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilaika, lā malja'a [wa lā manjā] minka illā ilaik, ūminu bikitābika wa birusulika)’ – then if he dies that night, he shall enter Paradise.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3395)
"إِذَا اضْطَّجَعَ أحدُكم على جنْبهِ الأيمنِ، ثمَّ قال: اللَّهُمَّ إني أسلمتُ نفسِى إليكَ ووجّهتُ وجْهى إليكَ، وألجأتُ ظهْرِى إليكَ وفوَّضتُ أمْرى إليك، لا ملجأ مِنْك إلا إليكَ أوْمِنُ بكتابِكَ وبرسولِكَ، فإنْ مات منْ ليلتِه دخل الجنةَ".
"عَنْ البَرَاءِ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجَهي، وَإلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي، وَإلَيْكَ أَلْجَأتُ ظَهْرِي، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَي مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ".
"عَنِ الْبَراءِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِىّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِرَجُل: يَا فُلاَنُ! إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَقُل: اللَّهمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِى إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىَ إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ، وأَلْجَأتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكتَابكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ، ونَبِيِّكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلتَ، فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ فَمِتَّ، مِتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وِإنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصبْتَ خَيْرًا".
"عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: قالَ رَسُول الله ﷺ : سَبْع كَلمَاتٍ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ حينَ يَأخُذُ مَضْجَعَهُ بَعدَ صَلاَةِ العِشَاءِ فَمَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَته تِلْكَ أَدْخَلَهُ الله الْجَنَّةَ، يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْلَمْتُ دِينِى إلَيْكَ، وَخَلَّيْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أمْرِى إِلَيْكَ، وَألْجَأتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِكِ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ، وَكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ".
