Dua before sleeping — entrusting my soul to Allah
اللَّهُـمَّ إِنَّـكَ خَلَـقْتَ نَفْسِـي وَأَنْتَ تَوَفَّـاهَـا، لَـكَ مَمَـاتُهَـا وَمَحْـيَاهَـا، إِنْ أَحْـيَيْـتَهَـا فَاحْفَظْـهَـا، وَإِنْ أَمَتَّـهَـا فَاغْفِـرْ لَهَـا. اللَّهُـمَّ إِنِّــي أَسْـأَلُـكَ الْـعَـافِيَـةَ
Allāhumma innaka khalaqta nafsī wa anta tawaffāhā, laka mamātuhā wa maḥyāhā, in aḥyaytahā fa-ḥfaẓhā, wa in amattahā fa-ghfir lahā. Allāhumma innī as’aluka l-‘āfiyah.
Translation
O Allaah, verily You have created my soul, and You shall take it's life, to You belongs it's life and death. If You should keep my soul alive, then protect it, and if You should take it’s life, then forgive it. O Allaah, I ask You to grant me good health.
When to recite
Before going to sleep, as the last words spoken.
