The Prophet said to me, <i>"Whenever you go to bed perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie or your right side and say;</i>
<i>O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my affairs to You and depend upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your Qur'an which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent. Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith. Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance before sleep."</i>
I repeated it before the Prophet and when I reached "O Allah I believe in Your Book which You have revealed." I said, "and your Apostle." The Prophet said, <i>"No, but say: 'Your Prophet whom You have sent', instead."</i>
