DUA BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP

Thirty-three: Quoted from ‘Uddat al-Da’i, Imam ‘Ali Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a) is reported to have said: When you intend to go to sleep, you may put your right hand under your right cheek and say this devotional statement. If you say it before going to sleep, Almighty Allah will guard you against raiding thieves and against demolition, and the angels will implore Almighty Allah to forgive you:

In the Name of Allah.

I put my side for the sake of Allah,

following the faith of Abraham,

the religion of Muhammad,

may Allah send blessings and benediction upon him and his Household,

and showing loyalty to those the obedience to whom has been made incumbent upon us by Allah.

Only what Allah wills shall come to pass,

but what Allah does not will shall never come to pass.
