"When anyone of you
goes to bed, he should shake out his covers, for he does not know what has
come onto it after him. Then he should say:
The Prophet (S) said to
Ali (R) and Fatimah (R), "When you go to bed recite:
Ali (R) said, 'I never
stopped doing that since I heard it.' (B & M)
بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّي وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ، فَإِنْ
أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا، بِمَا
تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
'Bismika rabbi wada'tu janbi wabika arfa uhu, 'in amsakta nafsi farhamha, wa'in arsaltaha fahfath ha bima tahfathu bihi ibadaka salihin.' (In Your Name I lay on my side on this bed and with Your Name I will rise therefrom. If You take my soul, bestow mercy on it, and if You release it, protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves.) (B & M) |
سُبْحَانَ الله
'SubhanAllah' (Glory is to Allah) 33 times, |
الْحَمْدُ لله
'Alhamdullilah' (Praise is to Allah) 33 times, and |
َاللهُ أَكْبَر
'AllahuAkbar' (Allah is Great) 34 times." |
