The Shaykh : You have attained good
The reader: “Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:171 Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And in a narration in the two Sahihs from al-Bara', he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me Riyad as-Salihin 814 ”
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
O so-and-so, whenever you go to your bed (for sleeping) say, 'O Allah! I have surrendered myself over to you and have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You and depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is neither fleeing from You nor refuge but with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent.' If you then die on that night, then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in the morning then you will receive the reward.
يا فلان إذا أويت إلى فراشك فقل اللهم أسلمت نفسي إليك ووجهت وجهي إليك وفوضت أمري إليك وألجأت ظهري إليك رغبة ورهبة إليك لا ملجأ ولا منجا منك إلا إليك آمنت بكتابك الذي أنزلت وبنبيك الذي أرسلت فإنك إن مت من ليلتك مت على الفطرة وإن أصبحت أصبحت خيراThe Shaykh : You have attained good

And if you live to morning, you will have attained good
وإن أصبحت أصبت خيراAl-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) directed me thus: "Whenever you go to bed, perform Wudu' as you do for Salat then (before sleeping) recite: 'O Allah! I have submitted myself to You, I have turned myself to You, committed my affairs to You and sought Your refuge for protection out of desire for You and fear of You (expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment). There is no refuge and no place of safety from You but with You. I believe in the Book You have revealed and in the Prophet (ﷺ) You have sent."' Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) added: "If anyone recites these words and dies during the night, he will die on the true Deen, and if he remains alive till the morning, he will obtain good. And make this supplication your last words (before sleeping)." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] .
