Attain Protection, Forgiveness & Well-Being
O Allah, indeed You have created my soul and You will cause it to die. To You Alone belongs its life and death. If You keep my soul alive then protect it, and if You cause it to die, then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for well-being.
ʿAbdullah b. ʿUmar (radiy Allāhū ʿanhumā) narrates that he instructed a man to say [the above] when going to sleep. The man asked him: “Did you hear this from ʿUmar?” He replied: “Someone better than ʿUmar; from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” (Composite: Aḥmad 5502, Muslim 2712)
