Hadith on Supplication: O Messenger Of Allah, Teach Me Something That I May Say When I Go To My Bed

Jami at-Tirmidhi 3403 (Book 48, Hadith 34) #29052

Reciting Disavowal of Shirk Before Bedtime

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Farwah bin Nawfal coming to the Prophet ﷺ and asking him to teach him something he can say when he goes to bed. The Prophet ﷺ then tells him to recite "Say: 'O you disbelievers for verily it is a disavowal of Shirk."

Farwah bin Nawfal (ra) narrated that: He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that I may say when I go to my bed". So he said: "Recite: Say: 'O you disbelievers’ for verily it is a disavowal of Shirk". Shu'bah said: "Sometimes he would say: 'One time’ and sometime he would not say it". (Another chain) from Farwah bin Nawfal, from his father: "That he came to the Prophet ﷺ" then he mentioned similar in meaning. And this is more correct. Abu 'Eisa said: And Zubair reported this hadith from Ishaq, from Farwah bin Nawfal, from his father from the Prophet ﷺ, with similar wording. This is more appropriate and more correct than the narration of Shu'bah. The companions of Abu Ishaq were confused in the narration of this hadith. This hadith has been reported through routes other than this'.Abdur-Rahman is the brother of Farwah bin Nawfal.
