Jami at-Tirmidhi 3574 (Book 48, Hadith 205) #29223
Entrusting Affairs to Allah Before Going To Bed

SUMMARY: This hadith encourages believers to perform wudu before going to bed and recite a prayer entrusting their affairs to Allah, believing in His Book and Prophet.

Al-Bara’ bin 'Azib narrated that the Prophet said: "When you go to your bed, perform the Wudu’ as you would perform for Salat. Then lie on your right side, then say: 'O Allah, I submit my face to You, and I entrust my affair to You, and I lay myself down relying upon You, hoping in You and fearing You. There is no refuge nor escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent (Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika wa fawwaḍtu amri ilaika, wa alja’tu ẓahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, la malja’a wa la manja minka illa ilaika, amantu bikitabikalladhi anzalta wa bi-nabiyykalladhi arsalt).’ And if you die that night, you shall die upon the Fitrah" - Al-Bara’ said: I repeated it to retain it in memory, "So I said: 'I believe in Your Messenger whom You have sent.’" He said: "So he struck with his hand upon my chest, then said: 'And in Your Prophet whom You have sent.’"
