"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".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ḥākim, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīMessenger 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
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 (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.

[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.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever utters these words when he lies on his side after performing the night prayer, and then dies on that night, he will enter Paradise: 'O Allah, I have submitted my religion to You, set my face towards You, entrusted my affairs to You, and sought refuge in You from behind me.

أسلمتُ نفسِى إِليك، وفَوَّضْتُ أمرى إِليك، وألجأتُ ظهرِى إِليك، وخَلَّيتُ وجْهِى إِليكَ، لا مَلجَأ منكَ إِلا إِليكَ، أَمنتُ برسولك الذي أرسلتَ، وبكَتابِكَ الذي أنزلتَ" .
"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 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".
"عَنِ الْبَرَاء أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِى إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ، رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَنْجَا وَلاَ مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلْتَ، فَإِنْ مِتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ مِتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَإِنْ أصْبحْتَ أصْبَحْتَ وَقَدْ أَصَبْتَ خَيْرًا".
"كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَدْعُو يَقُولُ: الَّلهُمَّ مَتَعْنِى بسَمْعِى وبَصَرِى حَتَّى تَجْعَلَهُمَا الْوارِثَ مِنِّى، وَعَافِنِى في دينِى عَلَى مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِى، وَانْصُرْنِى عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنِى حَتَّى تُرِيَنِى مِنْهُ ثَأرِى، الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْلَمْتُ دِينِى إِلَيْكَ، وَخَلَّيْتُ وَجْهِى إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأتُ ظَهْرِى إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجأ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إلا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِى أَرْسَلتَ، وَبِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِى أَنْزَلْتَ".
