حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ التِّنِّيسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ ثَوْرٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ الْأَنْمَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَأَخْسِئْ شَيْطَانِي وَفُکَّ رِهَانِي وَاجْعَلْنِي فِي النَّدِيِّ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ أَبُو هَمَّامٍ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ عَنْ ثَوْرٍ قَالَ أَبُو زُهَيْرٍ الْأَنْمَارِيُّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 5054
Narrated Abul Azhar al-Anmari: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to his bed at night, he would say: in the name of Allah, I have laid down my side for Allah. O Allah! forgive me my sin, drive away my devil, free me from my responsibility, and place me in the highest assembly. Abu Dawud said: Abu Hammam al-Ahwazi transmitted it from Thawr. He mentioned Abu Zuhair al-Anmari (instead of Abu al-Azhar).
