Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِبْعِىِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَمِنًا أَنْ يَقُولَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَحْيَا وَبِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانِي بَعْدَمَا أَمَاتَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ.
English Translation
Abu al-Nadr told us, Sharik told us, from 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Umayr, from Rib'i b. Hirash, from Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would customarily, when he took his place to sleep at night, place his right hand under his right cheek, then say: "O God, in Your name I live and in Your name I die." Then when he woke in the night he would say: "Praise be to God who gave me life after having caused me to die, and to Him is the resurrection."
