the Prophet said: “Whoever says, when he goes to his bed: ‘I seek forgiveness from Allah, [the Magnificent] the One whom there is none worthy of worship except for Him, the Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him (Astaghfiruallaha [Al-Azim] Alladhi La Ilaha Illa Huw, Al-Hayyul-Qayyum, Wa Atubu Ilaihi)’ three times, Allah shall forgive him his sins if they are like the foam of the sea, even if they were the number of leaves of the trees, even if they were the number of san particles of Alij, even if they were the number of the days of the world.”

When the Prophet would sleep, he would put his hand under his head then say: “O Allah, safeguard me from Your Punishment the Day You gather [Your slaves] (Allahumma Qini Adhabaka Yawma Tajma’u [Ibadak])” or “You resurrect Your slaves (Tab’athu Ibadak).”

The Messenger ofAllah used to lay his head upon his right hand when doing to sleep, then say: “My Lord, safeguard me from Your punishment the Day You resurrect Your slaves (Rabbi Qini Adhabaka Yawma Tab’athu Ibadak).”

“The Messenger of Allah used to order that when one of us went to sleep, he should say: ‘O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earths, and our Lord, and the Lord of everything, splitter of the seed-grain and date-stone, and Revealer of the Tawrah and the Injil and the Qur’an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every evil that You are holding by the forelock. You are the First, there is nothing before You, You are the Last, there is nothing after You, and Az-Zahir, there is nothing above you, and Al-Batin, there is nothing below You. Relieve me of my debt, and enrich me from poverty (Allahumma Rabbas-Samawati Wa Rabbal-Ardina WA Rabbana, Wa Rabba Kulli Shai’in, Faliqal-Habbi Wan-Nawa, Wa Munzilat-Tawrati Wal-Injili Wal-Qur’an. A’udhu Bika Sharri Kulli Dhi Sharrin Anta Akhidhun Binasiyatihi, Antal-Awwalu Falaisa Qablaka Shai’un, Wa Antal-Akhiru Falaisa Ba’daka Shai’un, Waz-Zahiru Falaisa Fauqaka Shai'un Wal-Batinu Falaisa Dunaka Shai’un, Iqdi Annid-daina Wa Aghnini Minal-Faqr).’”
