Du’as before Sleeping

 

“When the Prophet (Peace be upon him) wanted to lie down to sleep, he used to place his right hand under his cheek and say this dua “Abu Dawud 4/311. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmidhi 3/143.

“O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the Day that You resurrect Your slaves.”

(Recite three times in Arabic)

اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ


Allaahumma qinee ‘athaabaka yawma tab’athu ‘ibaadaka.

“In Your Name, O Allah, I die and I live”

بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
 
Bismika Allaahumma ‘amootu wa ‘ahyaa
 
Here, dying and living are metaphors for sleep and wakefulness. This explains why the normal order of these words has been reversed in this Hadith. In other contexts the living is mentioned before dying.
 
See Qur’an Al-Baqarah 2:258, Aal-‘Imrdn 3:156, Al-A’raf 7:158 among many other examples. See also Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 11/113, Muslim 4/ 2083.
 

Dua before you sleep or if you have a BAD DREAM and feel lonely and depressed

I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from His anger and His punishment, from the evil of His slaves and from the taunts of devils and from their presence.

 
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ، وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ، وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ
 
 ‘A’oothu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min ghadhabihi wa ‘iqaabihi, wa sharri ‘ibaadihi, wa min hamazaatish-shayaateeni wa ‘an yahdhuroon.
 
Abu Dawud 4/12. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At- Tirmidhi 3/171.
