أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الصَّوَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ

«إِذَا أَوَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ وَشَيْطَانٌ فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَكُ اخْتِمْ بِخَيْرٍ وَيَقُولُ الشَّيْطَانُ اخْتِمْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ نَامَ بَاتَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَكْلَؤُهُ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ افْتَحْ بِخَيْرٍ وَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ افْتَحْ بِشَرٍّ فَإِنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَدَّ عَلَيَّ نَفْسِي وَلَمْ يُمِتْهَا فِي مَنَامِهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولَا» إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ فَإِنْ وَقَعَ مِنْ سَرِيرِهِ فَمَاتَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»

✧ When a man retires to his bed, an angel and a devil come to him. The angel says: 'Seal with good,' and the devil says: 'Seal with evil.' If he remembers Allah and then sleeps, the angels spend the night guarding him. If he wakes up, the angel says: 'Open with good,' and the devil says: 'Open with evil.' Then if he says: 'Praise be to Allah who returned my soul to me and did not cause it to die in its sleep. Praise be to Allah who holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease to exist'—until the end of the verse—'Praise be to Allah who holds the heaven lest it fall upon the earth except by His permission,' then if he falls from his bed and dies, he will enter Paradise.
