Chapter 6 To sleep with ablution
باب إِذَا بَاتَ طَاهِرًا
Sahih al-Bukhari 6311

Narrated Al-Bara bin `Azib:

Allah’s Messenger (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).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورًا، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ 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 ‏”‏‏.‏
