وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ هُوَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثَنَا السَّرِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِفِرَاشِهِ فَيُفْرَشُ لَهُ فَيَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَإِذَا أَوَى إِلَيْهِ تَوَسَّدَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى، ثُمَّ هَمَسَ لَا نَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ، فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ: « اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ، وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، إِلَهَ وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ، وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would order his bed to be prepared for him and it would be spread for him, and he would face the qiblah. When he retired to it, he would place his right hand under his cheek, then he would whisper, and we did not know what he was saying. Then at the end of that, he would raise his voice and say: "O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, God and Lord of everything, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel and the Furqan, Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything for which You hold the forelock. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You, and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You, and You are the Outward, so there is nothing above You, and You are the Inward, so there is nothing below You. Settle our debt and make us free from poverty."
