Question:
Umm Abdullah says: If you recite the dhikr and go to sleep, and then you get up from the bed or talk to someone, do you recite it again, or is the first recitation sufficient? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for the Muslim, if he lies down in his bed and performs the prescribed portion of dhikr and sleeps in that state, that is the Sunnah (recommended practice), and by that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) protects him in his sleep from the disturbance of Satan, especially if he recites the Verse of the Throne, for a guardian from Allah remains with him, and no Satan approaches him until he wakes up, as is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And if he gets up or wakes up during the night, it is prescribed for him to remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with the tahlil, takbir, tasbih, seeking forgiveness, and supplication, as mentioned in the hadiths regarding the encouragement of this for one who wakes up from sleep during the night. It is therefore incumbent upon him to occupy his time with the remembrance of Allah until sleep returns to him. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
