[6888] 60 - (2712) It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar, that he ordered a man when he went to lie down, to say: “Allâhumma khalaqta nafsi, wa anta tawaffâhâ, laka mamâtuhâ wa mahyâhâ, in ahyaitahâ fâhfazhâ, wa in amattahâ faghfir laha. Allâhumma, (innî) asalukal-'âfiyah (O Allâh, You have created my soul and it is for You to take it in death. Its death and its life are in Your Hand. If You cause it to live then protect it and if You cause it to die then forgive it. O Allāh, I ask You to keep me safe and sound.” A man said to him: “Did you hear that from ‘Umar?” He said: “From one who is better than ‘Umar, from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.” Ibn Nāfi’ said in his report: “It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin Al-Ĥārith,” and he did not say: “I heard.”
