وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ، ثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَاثَةَ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ؓ قَالَ:

شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَقًا أَصَابَنِي فَقَالَ ﷺ: قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ غَارَتِ النُّجُومُ وَهَدَأَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَأَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ لَا تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ أَهْدِئْ لَيْلِي وَأَنِمْ عَيْنِي. فَقُلْتُهَا، فَأَذْهَبَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنِّي مَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُ

✧ I complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of insomnia that had afflicted me, and he ﷺ said: 'Say: O Allah, the stars have set, the eyes have become still, and You are Living, Self-Subsisting; neither slumber nor sleep overtakes You. O Living, O Self-Subsisting, calm my night and grant sleep to my eyes.' I said it, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, removed from me what I was experiencing.
