Al-Adab Al-Mufrad: Chapter 50

Hudhayfa said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, wanted to go to sleep, he said, 'By Your Name, O Allah, I die
and live.' When he woke up, he said, 'Praise be to Allah who gave us life
after He made us die, and to Him is the gathering.'"

Anas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, went to bed, he said, 'Praise be to Allah who has given us food

Jabir said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, did not sleep until he had recited, 'Alif-Lam-Mim. The Sending-down'
(32) and 'Blessed is the One in whose hand the kingdom is' (67).'"

'Abdullah said, "Going to sleep during dhikr comes from Shaytan.
if you like, you can put it to the test. When one of you goes to bed and
wants to go to sleep. he should mention Allah Almighty."

Jabir said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
did not go to sleep until he had recited 'Blessed' (67) and 'Alif-Lam-Mim.
The Sending-down' (32)."

Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'When one of you goes to bed, he should undo
the inside of his lower garment and dust the bed with it. He does not know
what has come on his bed since he left it. He should lie down on his right
side and say, 'In Your Name I have laid down on my side. If You take my
soul, then have mercy on it. If You release it, then preserve it in the
manner in which You preserve the men of right action."

Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, went to bed, he laid down on his right side. Then
he said, 'O Allah, I have turned my face to You and I have surrendered
my self to You and I have committed my back to You out of fear and desire
for You. There is no place of safety or refuge from You except with You.
I have believed in Your book which You revealed and Your Prophet whom You
sent.' He said, 'Whoever says it at night and then dies, dies in fitra
(natural state).'"

Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, used to say when he went to bed, 'O Allah, Lord of
the heavens and the earth, and Lord of all things, Splitter of the grain
and seeds, the One who sent down the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an!
I seek refuge with You from every evil. You take by the forelock. You are
the Outward, and there is nothing above You. You are the Inward and there
is nothing below You. Pay my debts for me and keep me safe from poverty.'"

See 1211.

Praise be to Allah who holds back the sky preventing it from falling
on the earth, except by His permission. Allah is All-Compassionate to mankind,
Most Merciful .' (22:63) If he dies, he dies a martyr, If he gets up
and prays, he prays in virtue.'"

Al-Bara' said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, wanted to go to sleep, he put his hand under his right cheek
and said, 'O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day you raise
up Your slaves.'"

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "If a Muslim man persists in two actions,
he will enter the Garden. They are easy, but those who do them are few.'
He was asked, 'What are they, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?'
He said, 'That you say "Allahu akbar" ten times, "al-hamdu lillah"
ten times, and "Subhana'llah" ten times after every prayer.
That is 150 on the tongue and 1500 in the balance.' I saw the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, counting them with his hand. Then
he said, 'When you go to bed, you should say, "Subhana'llah", "al-hamdu
lillah", and "Allahu akbar". That is 100 on the tongue and 1000
in the balance. Who among you can do 2500 bad actions morning and night?'
He was asked, 'Messenger of Allah, how is it that they are not counted?'
He said, 'Shaytan comes to one of you while he is praying and reminds him
of something he has to do such-and-such and such-and-such, so he does not
remember to do it.'"

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "When one of you goes to bed, he should dust his
bed with the inside of his lower garment. he should say, 'In the Name of
Allah.' He does not know what might have come on it after he left it. If
he wants to lie down, he should lie down on his right side and say, 'Glory
be to You, my Lord, I have laid down on my side by You and I raise it up
by You. If you take my soul, then forgive it. If you release it, then guard
over it as You guard over Your righteous slaves.'"

Rabi'a ibn Ka'b related, "I used to spend the night at the door
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I would give
him his wudu' water." He said, "After a long period of the night had passed,
I heard him say, 'Allah hears whoever praises Him,' and I heard him say
after a long period of the night had passed, 'Praise be to Allah, Lord
of the Worlds.'"

grant him peace, said, "Whoever goes to sleep with grease on his hand before

grant him peace, said, "Anyone who spends the night with grease on his

Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Lock the doors, tie the water-skins,
turn over the vessels, cover the vessels, and put out the lamps. Shaytan

A mouse can cause a house to burn down with its inhabitants inside it."

Ibn 'Abbas said, "A mouse came and began to drag the wick. The
slavegirl moved to stop it. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Leave it.' The mouse brought the wick and put it on the
mat where he was sitting. It burned a hole in it the size of a dirham.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'When you go to sleep, put out the lights. Shaytan guides things like this
and then they burn you.'"

Abu Sa'id said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, woke up one night and found that a mouse had taken the wick and
climbed onto the roof with it to burn the house down over them. The Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed it and it became lawful
to kill it in the Haram."

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Do not leave the fire burning in your house when you
go to sleep."

around an put out the fires of his family before he went to sleep at night.

peace, say, "Do not leave a fire burning in your houses. It is an enemy."

during the night. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
