Sunan Ibn Majah 3877 (Book 34, Hadith 51) #33231
Praying for Protection from Allah's Punishment

SUMMARY: The Prophet (SAWS) would pray to Allah before going to bed, asking for protection from His punishment on the Day of Judgement.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that: whenever the Prophet (SAWS) went to his bed, he would put his hand - meaning his right hand - beneath his cheek then say: "Allahumma qini 'adhabaka yawm tab'athu - or: tajma'u - 'ibadaka (O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the Day when You resurrect - or gather - Your slaves)".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ - يَعْنِي الْيُمْنَى - تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ - أَوْ تَجْمَعُ - عِبَادَكَ
