حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُکُمْ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ عَلَی فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَنْزِعْ دَاخِلَةَ إِزَارِهِ ثُمَّ لِيَنْفُضْ بِهَا فِرَاشَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا خَلَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لِيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَی شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ رَبِّ بِکَ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي وَبِکَ أَرْفَعُهُ فَإِنْ أَمْسَکْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا حَفِظْتَ بِهِ عِبَادَکَ الصَّالِحِينَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3874
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah(saw) said: “When anyone of you wants to go to bed, let him undo the edge of his Izar (waist wrap) and dust off his bed with it, for he does not know what came to it after him. Then let him lie down on his right side say: (O Lord, by Your leave I lie down and by Your leave I rise, so if You should take my soul then have mercy on it, and if You should return my soul then protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves)." (Sahih)
