أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ شَاذَانَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، بِهَا، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمِقْدَامِ هِشَامُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ، قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَبَصرِي وَعَقْلِي وَاجْعَلْهَا الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي، وَانْصرْنِي عَلَى عَدُوِّي، وَأَرِنِي مِنْهُ ثَأْرِي. اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ، وَمَنَ الْجُوعِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِئْسَ الضَّجِيعُ ". قَالَت: ثُمَّ يَضْطَجِعُ. " لَفْظُ: " وَعَقْلِي " غَرِيبٌ فِيهِ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو الْمِقْدَامِ وَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ "

That when the Messenger of God ﷺ went to his bed, he would say: "O God, let me enjoy my hearing, my sight and my intellect, and make them the inheritor from me; grant me victory over my enemy, and show me my vengeance upon him. O God, I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt, and from hunger, for it is an evil bedfellow." She said: Then he would lie down. "The wording "and my intellect" is strange (gharīb) in it; Abū al-Miqdām was alone in narrating it, and he is not strong. And God knows best."
