What a Person Should Say When They Lie Down to Sleep

وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «لاَ يَدَعِ اَلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَقُولَ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ: أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ مَالِي بِكَلِمَاتِ اَللَّهِ اَلتَّامَّاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَ هَامَّةٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لاَمَّةٍ فَذَلِكَ اَلَّذِي عَوَّذَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ، اَلْحَسَنَ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنَ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ.
Al-'Ala' reported from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the Imams عليه السلام, who said: "A man should not neglect to say at bedtime: 'I seek protection for myself, my descendants, my family, and my wealth with the complete words of Allah سبحانه وتعالى from every devil, harmful creature, and every envious eye.' This is what Archangel Jibril عليه السلام used to protect Hasan and Hussain عليه السلام."
