Sunan Abi Dawud
General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)
(107) Chapter: What to say when going to sleep
Narrated Hafsah, Ummul Mu'minin:
When the Messenger of Allah wanted to go to sleep, he put his right hand under his cheek and would then say: O Allah, guard me from Thy punishment on the day when Thou raisest up Thy servants. Three times.*
(( Allahumma Qini 'Azabaka Yawma Tab'athoo Ibaadak ))
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سَوَاءٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ " اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ " . ثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ .
صحيح دون قوله ثلاث مرار (الألباني)
*Al-Albani (r) : "Authentic without the saying three times."
The shaikh has compared the whole wording with others and found that the three times wasn't sahih compared to the rest of the statement.
