Chapter 4 · Ablutions (Wudu')
Sahih

فَضْلِ مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ

The virtue of one who spends the night in a state of ablution

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الأَيْمَنِ، ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ. فَإِنْ مُتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ فَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَاجْعَلْهُنَّ آخِرَ مَا تَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ ". قَالَ فَرَدَّدْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ " اللَّهُمَّ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ ". قُلْتُ وَرَسُولِكَ. قَالَ " لاَ، وَنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ

Translation

Al-Bara' ibn Azib reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “When you go to your bed, perform your ablution (wudu) as for the prayer. Then lie down on your right side and say: ‘O Allah, I have submitted my face to You, entrusted my affair to You and made my back rely on You, out of longing for You and awe of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. O Allah, I believe in Your Book which You have sent down and in Your Prophet whom You have sent.’ If you then die during that night, you will be upon the fitrah (natural disposition). And make these the last words you speak.” He said: I repeated them to the Prophet ﷺ, and when I reached “O Allah, I believe in Your Book which You have sent down,” I said, “and Your Messenger.” He said, “No: ‘and Your Prophet whom You have sent.’”

Translator’s note: Fitrah: the natural, pure disposition, i.e. Islam.

Al-Bara' ibn Azib berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Wenn du zu deiner Schlafstätte gehst, dann vollzieh deine Gebetswaschung wie für das Gebet. Dann leg dich auf deine rechte Seite und sag: ‚O Allah, ich habe mein Gesicht Dir ergeben, meine Angelegenheit Dir anvertraut und meinen Rücken an Dich gelehnt, aus Verlangen nach Dir und aus Ehrfurcht vor Dir. Es gibt keine Zuflucht und keine Rettung vor Dir außer bei Dir. O Allah, ich glaube an Dein Buch, das Du herabgesandt hast, und an Deinen Propheten, den Du gesandt hast.‘ Wenn du dann in dieser Nacht stirbst, so bist du auf der natürlichen Veranlagung (Fitra). Und mach diese (Worte) zum Letzten, was du sprichst.“ Er sagte: Da wiederholte ich sie vor dem Propheten ﷺ, und als ich zu „O Allah, ich glaube an Dein Buch, das Du herabgesandt hast“ kam, sagte ich: „und Deinen Gesandten“. Er sagte: „Nein: ‚und Deinen Propheten, den Du gesandt hast‘.“

Translator’s note: Fitra: die natürliche, reine Veranlagung, d. h. der Islam.

Berâ b. Âzib (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Yatağına gideceğin zaman namaz için aldığın abdest gibi abdest al. Sonra sağ yanına yat ve şöyle de: ‘Allah'ım! Yüzümü sana teslim ettim, işimi sana bıraktım, sırtımı sana dayadım; sana rağbet ederek ve senden korkarak. Senden ancak yine sana sığınılır ve senden ancak yine sana kurtuluş vardır. Allah'ım! İndirdiğin kitabına ve gönderdiğin nebîne iman ettim.’ Eğer o gece ölürsen fıtrat üzere olursun. Bu sözleri konuştuğun son söz yap.” Dedi ki: Ben bunları Nebî'ye ﷺ tekrarladım. “Allah'ım! İndirdiğin kitabına iman ettim” kısmına gelince “ve resûlüne” dedim. O da: “Hayır, ‘ve gönderdiğin nebîne’” buyurdu.

Translator’s note: Fıtrat: insanın yaratılıştaki temiz hâli, yani İslâm.
