WHAT TO DO BEFORE SLEEPING

1492

“When any one of you goes to bed he should shake his bedding with the inner side of his loose lower undergarment because he does not know what might have been on it after him, and should supplicate, ‘In Your Name, O Lord, I have laid upon my side and in Your Name I shall raise from it. If You should take my soul, have mercy on it, and if You restore it then guard it against that which You guard Your righteous worshipers.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
