Narrated Tikhfat al-Ghifari: Ya'ish ibn Tikhfat al-Ghifari said: My father was one of the people in the Suffah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Come with us to the house of Aishah. So we went and he said: Give us food, Aishah. She brought hashishah and we ate. He then said: Give us food, Aishah. She then brought haysah as small in quantity as a pigeon and we ate. He then said: Give us something to drink, Aishah. So she brought a bowl of milk, and we drank. Again he said: Give us something to drink, Aishah. She then brought a small cup and we drank. He then said: If you wish, you may spend the night (here), or if you wish, you may go to the mosque. He said: While I was lying on my stomach because of pain in the lung, a man began to shake me with his foot and then said: This is a method of lying which Allah hates. I looked and saw that he was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Narrated Ali ibn Shayban: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone spends the night on the roof of a house with no stone palisade, Allah's responsibility to guard him no longer applies.

Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a Muslim sleeps while remembering Allah, in the state of purification, is alarmed while asleep at night, and asks Allah for good in this world and in the Hereafter. He surely gives it to him. Thabit al-Bunani said: Abu Zabyah came to visit us and he transmitted this tradition to us from Muadh ibn Jabal from the Prophet ﷺ. Thabit said: So and so said: I tried my best to utter these (prayers) when I got up, but I could not do.

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Muminin: Some relative of Umm Salamah said: The bed of the Prophet ﷺ was set as a man is laid in his grave; the mosque was towards his head.

Narrated Hafsah, Ummul Muminin: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wanted to go to sleep, he put his right hand under his cheek and would then say three times: O Allah, guard me from Thy punishment on the day when Thou raisest up Thy servants.

Al-Bara bin Azib said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: When you go to your bed, perform ablution like the ablution for prayer, and then lie on your right side and say: O Allah I have handed over my face to thee, entrusted my affairs to thee, and committed my back to thee out of desire for and fear to thee. There is no refuge and no place of safety from thee except by having recource to thee. I believe in Thy Book which Thou hast sent down and in Thy prophet whom thou hast sent down. He said: If you die (that night), you would die in the true religion, and utter these words in the last of that you utter (other prayers). Al-Bara said: I said: I memorise them, and then I repeated, saying “and in Thy Messenger whom Thou hast sent”. He said: No, say: “and in Thy Prophet whom Thou hast sent.

Al-Bara bin Azib said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: when you go to bed while you are in the state of purification, lay your head on your right hand. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition in a similar manner as above.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by al-Bara bin Azil from the prophet ﷺ to the same effect through a different chain of narrators. One transmitter said: when you go to your bed while you are in the state of purification. The other said: Perform ablution like the ablution for prayer. He then transmitted the tradition to the effect as Mu’tamir transmitted.

Hudhaifah said: when the prophet ﷺ lay down on his bed (at night), he would say: O Allah! In Thy name I die and live. When he awoke, he said: praise be to Allah who has given us life after causing us to die and to whom we shall be resurrected.
