What to say before sleeping
(Cup your palms together, blow gently into them
and then recite:)
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ "قُلْ هُوَ
اللهُ أَحَدٌ ۞ اللهُ الصَّمَدُ ۞ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ
يُولَدْ ۞ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ

'Ahad. Allaahus-Samad. Lam yalid wa lam. yoolad. Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan
'ahad.
With the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful . Say : He is Allah (the) One . The Self-Sufficient Master,
Whom all creatures need, He begets not nor was He begotten , and none is
equal to Him .
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Qul 'a'oothu
birabbil-falaq. Min sharri maa khalaq. Wa min sharri ghaasiqin 'ithaa
waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffaathaati fil-'uqad. Wa min sharri haasidin 'ithaa
hasad.
With the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak, from
the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of the darkening (night)
as it comes with its darkness, and from the evil of those who practice
witchcraft when they blow in the knots, and from the evil of the envier when
he envies.
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem. Qul 'a'oothu

With the Name of Allah , the Most Gracious , the
Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind, the King
of mankind , the God of mankind , from the evil of the whisperer who
withdraws , who whispers in the breasts of mankind, of jinns and men .
(Then pass your hands over as much of your body as
you can reach, beginning with the head and the face, then the entire front of
your body. Do this three times .)

Allah! There is no God but He, the Ever Living,
the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep
overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on
the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?
He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in
the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except
that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and
He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High,
the Most Great.
Reference:
Al-Baqarah 2:255. Whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a
guardian from Allah remain with him and Satan will not be able to come near
him until he rises in the morning. See Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani,
Fathul-Bari 4/487.
"آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ

The Messenger believes in what has been send down
to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah,
His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say: "We make no
distinction between any of His Messengers," and they say: "We hear,
and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the
return." Allah burdens not a person beyond what he can bear. He gets
reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that
(evil) which he has earned. Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into
error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those
before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to
bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our
Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people.
Reference:
Al-Baqarah 2:285-6. These two Verses will be sufficient for anyone who
recites them at night before sleeping. Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani,
Fathul-Bari.9/94, Muslim 1/554.
بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّي وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ
أَرْفَعُهُ، فَإِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا
فَاحْفَظْهَا، بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ".

'arfa'uhu, fa'in 'amsakta nafsee farhamhaa, wa 'in 'arsaltahaa fahfadhhaa,
bimaa tahfadhu bihi 'ibaadakas-saaliheen.
With Your Name1 my Lord, I
lay myself down ; and with Your Name I rise . And if my soul You take , have
mercy on it , and if You send it back then protect it as You protect Your
righteous slaves.2
Reference:
1 "If any of you rises from his bed and later returns to it, let him dust off his bed with his waist garment three times and mention the Name of Allah, for he does not know what may have entered the bed after him, and when he lies down he should say. . . ". 2 Al-Bukhari 1 1/ 126 and Muslim 4/2084.
"اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ تَوَفَّاهَا،
لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْيَاهَا، إِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا، وَإِنْ
أَمَتَّهَا فََاغْفِرْ لَهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ".

O Allah, You have created my soul and You take it
back. Unto You is its death and its life . If You give it life then protect
it , and if You cause it to die then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for
strength.

Muslim 4/2083 and Ahmad 2/79.
"اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ
عِبَادَكَ".
104. Allaahumma qinee 'athaabaka yawma

O Allah,1 save me
from Your punishment on the Day that You resurrect Your slaves. (Recite three
times in Arabic .)2
Reference:
1 "When the Prophet (SAW) wanted to lie down to sleep, he used to place his right hand under his cheek and say..." 2 Abu Dawud 4/311. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi 3/143.
"بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا".
105. Bismika Allaahumma 'amootu wa 'ahyaa.
In Your Name , O Allah , I die and I live.
Reference:
Here, dying and living are metaphors for sleep and wakefulness. This explains
why the normal order of these words has been reversed in this Hadith. In
other contexts the living is mentioned before dying. See Qur'an Al-Baqarah
2:258, Aal-'Imrdn 3:156, Al-A'raf 7:158 among many other examples, (trans.).
See also Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 11/113, Muslim 4/ 2083.
"سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، والْحَمْدُ للهِ، وَاللهُ
أَكْبَرُ".
106: Subhaanallaahi, - Walhamdu lillaahi,

Glory is to Allah (thirty-three times in Arabic)

O Allah! Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of
the Magnificent Throne . Our Lord and the Lord of everything . Splitter of
the grain and the date-stone , Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel1 and the
Furqdn (the Qur'an), I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that
You shall seize by the forelock.2 O Allah
You are the First and nothing has come before you, and You are the Last, and
nothing may come after You. You are the Most High, nothing is above You and
You are the Most Near and nothing is nearer than You. Remove our debts from
us and enrich us against poverty. 3
