حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعُثْمَانَ قَالَ إِسْحَقُ أَخْبَرَنَا و قَالَ عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَائُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَکَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوئَکَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَی شِقِّکَ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْکَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْکَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْکَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْکَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْکَ إِلَّا إِلَيْکَ آمَنْتُ بِکِتَابِکَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ مِنْ آخِرِ کَلَامِکَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِکَ مُتَّ وَأَنْتَ عَلَی الْفِطْرَةِ قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهُنَّ لِأَسْتَذْکِرَهُنَّ فَقُلْتُ آمَنْتُ بِرَسُولِکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ قَالَ قُلْ آمَنْتُ بِنَبِيِّکَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6882
Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported that Allah's, Messenger (may peace be upon said: When you go to bed, perform ablution as is done for prayer; then lie down pn the right side and recite: O Allah, I turn my face towards Thee and entrust my affair to Thee. I retreat unto Thee for protection with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship) but Thou only. I affirm my faith in Thine books which Thou revealed and in Thine Apostles whom Thou sent. Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon Fitra (upon Islam). And as I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory, I said: I affirm my faith in Thy Messenger (Rasul) whom Thou sent. He said: Say: I affirm my faith in the Apostle (Nabi) whom Thou sent.
