English translation

5050. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Abi Sa'eed Al-Maqburī, from his father, that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When one of you goes to his bed, let him dust off his bed with the inside of his lower garment, for he does not know what came onto it after him. Then let him lie down on his right side, and say: "Bismika rabbī waḍa'tu janbī wa bika arfa'uhu, in amsakta nafsi fārhahā, wa in arsaltahā fāh-fazhā bimā taḥfazu bihiṣ-ṣāliḥīna min 'ibādika (In Your Name my Lord I lay down, and in Your Name I arise. If You keep my soul then have mercy on it, and if You send it back, then protect it with that with which You protect Your righteous slaves)." (Sāhiḥ)

5050 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَنْفُضْ فِرَاشَهُ بِدَاخِلَةِ إِزَارِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا خَلَفَهُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ لِيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ: بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّي وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ، إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ "
