  • [6314]  عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بنِ اليَمَانِ  رضي الله عنه قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبَيُّ صلى  الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: (( الَّلهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا )) وَإِذَا استيقظ قَالَ : (( الحمْدُ لله الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِليْهِ النُّشُورُ ))

( صحيح البخاري )

Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported

Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) lay down for sleep at night, he would place his (right) hand under his (right) cheek and supplicate: “Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya [O Allah, with Your Name will I die and live (wake up)].” And when he woke up, he would supplicate: “Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana, wa ilaihin-nushur (All praise is due to Allah, Who has brought us back to life after He has caused us to die, and to Him is the return).”

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  •  [ 6315] عَنِ البَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ  رضي الله عنه قَالَ  : كَانَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم  إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ نَامَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ((  اللَّهُمَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِليْكَ ؛ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ ؛ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِليْكِ ؛ وَأَلجَأتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ ؛ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ ؛ لا مَلْجَأَ وَلا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ ؛ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكِ  الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ ؛ وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ )) وَقَالَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (( مَنْ  قَالَهُنَّ  ؛ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ مَاتَ عَلَى الفِطْرَةِ ))

( صحيح البخاري )

Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Whenever you intend to go to bed, perform Wudu’ as is done for Salat (prayer); and then lie down on the right side and recite: [O Allah! I have submitted myself to You. I have turned my face to You, entrusted my affairs to You and relied completely on You out of desire for and fear of You (expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment). There is no resort and no deliverer from (hardships) except You. I affirm my faith in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent].’ If you die during the night, you will die in the true religion. Let these words be your last words at night.”

(Al- Bukhari and Muslim)

  • [6339] عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنِّ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : (( لا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ : اللَّهُمَّ إغفر لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ  اللَّهُمَّ ارحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ  لِيَعْزِمِ المسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لا مُكْرِهَ  لَهُ ))

( صحيح البخاري )

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as saying

“One of you should not say (in his supplication): O Allah, forgive me if You please, show mercy to me if You please.’ Rather, be firm in your asking, for no one can force Him.”

‏(Sahih al-Bukhari)

  • [ 6340]  عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنِّ رَسُولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ : (( يُسْتَجَابُ لأَحَدِكُمْ مَالَمْ يَعْجَلْ  يَقُولُ : دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي ))

( صحيح البخاري )

Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “The invocation of anyone of you is granted (by Allah) if he does not show impatience (by saying, “I invoked Allah but my request has not been granted.”)

(Sahih al-Bukhari)
