SUPPLICATION BEFORE SLEEPING...

SUPPLICATION BEFORE SLEEPING...


Hudhaifah states , Before the Holy Prophet went to sleep he would pray this supplication:

'Allahuma bismika Amutu wa ahya'
'O Almighty Allah in your name I live and die!'




IMAM SHAFI STATES THAT THERE ARE 4 TYPES OF SLEEP...

1. To lie on the back is the sleep of the Prophets .

2. To sleep on the right side is the sleep of the Worshippers.

3. To sleep on the left side is the sleep of the rulers.

4. To sleep on the stomach is the sleep of the devil.


HOW THE HOLY PROPHET SLEPT...

The Messenger of Allah would put his blessed right hand under his blessed right cheek. He would lie on his blessed right side, facing the Qibla and rest on a pillow that was made from leaves of a date tree.



When a person sleeps with wudhu, Allah Almighty gives permission for the soul to visit the arsh and to bow to Almighty Allah. Whilst sleeping in the state of wudhu, the reward for worship is being written for you in your book of deeds all night, SubhanAllah!


The Holy Prophet bed...

Aisha radhiallahu anha states, "The Prophet 's bed was made of animal skin which had leaves of date trees."

Umar states, "The Prophet was sleeping on a mat, the marks of the mat were left on his blessed side. I said, O messenger of Allah only if you would sleep on something better than this.' The Holy Prophet replied, "What have I to gain in this world, this world is like a traveller is travelling in the sun and he sits under a tree, gets up and goes."



SUPPLICATION POSITION...

Aisha radiallahu anha states, "When the Messenger of Allah would lay down every night on his bed, he would raise his hands in the supplication position and pray. He would recite;

surah Ikhlas 3 times

Surah Naas once

Surah Falaq once

and blow on his palms and wipe his hands over his blessed body to where they could reach."



DO NOT LIE ON THE STOMACH...

The Holy Prophet never lied on his blessed stomach and if he saw anyone doing saw anyone doing so he would wake them up by his feet and be very upset.

Ya'eesh bin Tagta Gafari narrates from his father that he states "I was lying on my stomach, suddenly a person nudged me with his feet and said, 'to lie down like this is disliked by Allah Almighty.' When I turned to se who it was, I saw the Messenger of Allah ."


Our Holy Prophet said,

"When a person enters hs bed (to sleep) an angel and devil surround him. The devil whispers, 'Your awakeneing will end in evil' and the angel says, 'ends in good.' But if one sleeps after engaging in rememebrance the angels will protect him through the night."
