6311. Narrated Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to me, "When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as you do for Ṣalāt (prayer), then lie down on your right side and say: 'Allāhumma aslamtu wajhī ilaika, wa fauwaḍtu amrī ilaika, waljā' tu zahrī ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. Lā maljā'a wa lā manjā' minka illā ilaika. Anantu bikitābikalladhī anzalta, wa binabiyikal-ladhī arsalta' (1). If you should die then (after reciting this) you will die on Al-Fitrāh [the religion of Islām (i.e., as a Muslim)]; so let these words be the last you say (before going to bed)." While I was memorizing it, I said, "Wa birasūlikal-ladhī arsalta (in Your Messenger whom You have sent)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, but say: Wa binabiyikal-ladhī arsalta (in Your Prophet whom You have sent)."

6311 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَنْصُورًا، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي البَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ، فَتَوَضَّأْ وَضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ، وَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَهْبَةً وَرَغْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ، فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الفِطْرَةِ فَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَقُولُ " فَقُلْتُ أَسْتَذْكِرُهُنَّ: وَبِرَسُولِكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ. قَالَ: لاَ، «وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ»
