Sahih Muslim 2710a (Book 48, Hadith 75) #13952
Entrusting Affairs to Allah Before Bedtime

SUMMARY: This hadith encourages believers to perform ablution before going to bed and recite a prayer entrusting their affairs to Allah, affirming faith in His books and Apostles.

Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported that Allah's, Messenger (may peace be upon said: When you go to bed, perform ablution as is done for prayer; then lie down on the right side and recite:" O Allah, I turn my face towards Thee and entrust my affair to Thee. I retreat unto Thee for protection with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship) but Thou only. I affirm my faith in Thine books which Thou revealed and in Thine Apostles whom Thou sent". Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon Fitra (upon Islam). And as I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory, I said:" I affirm my faith in Thy Messenger (Rasul) whom Thou sent". He said: Say:" I affirm my faith in the Apostle (Nabi) whom Thou sent".
