حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورًا عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَائُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَکَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَضُوئَکَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَی شِقِّکَ الْأَيْمَنِ وَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْکَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْکَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْکَ رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْکَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْکَ إِلَّا إِلَيْکَ آمَنْتُ بِکِتَابِکَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَی الْفِطْرَةِ فَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ فَقُلْتُ أَسْتَذْکِرُهُنَّ وَبِرَسُولِکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ قَالَ لَا وَبِنَبِيِّکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6311
Narrated Al-Bara bin `Azib: Allah's Apostle 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 fauwadtu `Amri ilaika wa aljatu zahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, lamalja'a wa la manna mink a ill a ilaika. Amantu bikitabi kalladhi anzalta wa bi nabiyyikal-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 birasiulikal-ladhi arsalta (in Your Apostle whom You have sent).' The Prophet said, "No, but say: Wa binabiyyi-kalladhi arsalta (in Your Prophet whom You have sent).
