3874. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "When anyone of you wants to go to bed, let him undo the edge of his Izâr (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 and say: 'Rabbi bika wada'tu janbi wa bika arfa'uhu, fa in amsakta nafsi farhamhâ, wa in arsaltahâ fahfazhâ bimâ hafizta bihi 'ibâdikaas-sâlihîn (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)
