حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ کَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَوَی إِلَی فِرَاشِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَرَبَّ کُلِّ شَيْئٍ فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَی مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ کُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَکَ شَيْئٌ وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَکَ شَيْئٌ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَکَ شَيْئٌ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَکَ شَيْئٌ اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنِي مِنْ الْفَقْرِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3873
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that when going to bed, the Prophet(saw) used to say: (O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth and Lord of all things, Cleaver of the seed and the kernel, Revealer of the Tawrah, the lnjil and the Magnificent Qur'an, I seek refuge with You from the evil of every creature You seize by the forelock. You are the First and there is nothing before You; You are the Last and there is nothing after You; You are the Most High (Az-Zahir) and there is nothing above You, and You are the Most Near (Al-Batin) and there is nothing nearer than You. Settle my debt for me and spare me from poverty)." (Sahih)
