5046. It was narrated from Manṣūr, who narrated from Sa'd bin 'Ubaidah, who said that Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib narrated: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: "When you go to your bed, perform Wudū' as for prayer, then lie down on your right side, and say: 'Allāhumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fawwaḍtu amri ilaika, wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, rahbatan wa raghbatan ilaika, lā malja'a wa lā manjā mika illā ilaika, āmantu bi-kitābikalladhī anzalta, wa nabīyyikalladhī arsalta' (O Allāh, I have submitted my face to You, delegated my affairs to You, put myself under Your command, out of hope and fear of You. There is no refuge or place of safety from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent)." He said: 'Then if you die, you will die upon the Fiṭrah, and you will have made these the last words that you say.'" Al-Barā' said: "I said: 'I will memorize them,' and I said: 'And in Your Messenger whom You have sent.' He said: 'No, in Your Prophet whom You have sent.'" (Sahih)

5046 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ، وَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ» قَالَ «فَإِنْ مِتَّ مِتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ» قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ: فَقُلْتُ: أَسْتَذْكِرُهُنَّ، فَقُلْتُ: وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ، قَالَ: «لَا، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ»
