English Translation
ʿAlī ibn Ḥafṣ narrated from Sufyān, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Barāʾ, who said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When you retire to your bed, say: 'O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, and I have turned my face to You, and I have entrusted my affair to You, and I have placed my back [in reliance] upon You, in hope of You and fear of You. There is no refuge or escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.' If you die that night, you die upon the natural disposition (fiṭrah). And if you wake in the morning, you attain goodness."'
