Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
Allah’s Apostle said, “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 punish –
ment. 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 re –
ceive the reward.” (See Hadith No. 323, Vol. 8)

Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
The Prophet was carrying earth with us on the day of the battle of Al-Ahzab (confederates) and I
saw that the dust was covering the whiteness of his abdomen, and he (the Prophet ) was saying, “(O
Allah) ! Without You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity, nor
would we have prayed. So (O Allah!) please send tranquility (Sakina) upon us as they, (the chiefs of
the enemy tribes) have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want to frighten us and
fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them). And the Prophet used to raise his
voice with it. (See Hadith No. 430 and 432, Vol. 5)

handkerchiefs of Sa’d in Paradise are better than it.”

I saw the Prophet on the Day of (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, carrying earth with us and saying, “By
Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we have fasted, nor would we
have prayed. O Allah! Send down Sakina (calmness) upon us and make our feet firm when we meet
(the enemy). The pagans have rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in affliction (i.e., fight
us) we refuse (to flee).” (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 5).

When Allah’s Apostle went to bed, he used to sleep on his right side and then say, “All-ahumma
aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu Amri ilaika, wa alja’tu zahri ilaika, ragh –
batan wa rahbatan ilaika. La Malja’a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabika al-ladhi anza –

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 323:
Narrated Al-Bara bin ‘Azib:
Allah’s Apostle said to me, “When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as you do for prayer,
then lie down on your right side and say: ‘Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu Amri ilaika
wa aljatu zahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, lamalja’a wa la manna mink a ill a ilaika.
Amantu bikitabi kalladhi anzalta wa bi nabiyyikal-ladhi arsalta’. If you should die then (after recit –
ing this) you will die on the religion of Islam (i.e., as a Muslim); so let these words be the last you say
(before going to bed)” While I was memorizing it, I said, “Wa birasiulikal-ladhi arsalta (in Your
Apostle whom You have sent).’ The Prophet said, “No, but say: Wa binabiyyi-kalladhi arsalta (in Your
Prophet whom You have sent).”
Volume 7, Book 72, Number 753:
Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
The Prophet forbade us to use seven things: He forbade using gold rings, silk, Istabraq, Dibaj, red
Mayathir, Al-Qassiy, and silver utensils. He ordered us to do seven other things. To pay a visit to the
sick; to follow funeral processions; to say, “May Allah be merciful to you” to a sneezer if he says
“Praise be to Allah”; to return greetings, to accept invitations; to help others to fulfil their oaths and to
help the oppressed ones.
