بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِى اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِيْ وَأَخْسِئْ شَيْطَانِيْ وَفُكَّ رِهَانِيْ وَاجْعَلْنِيْ فِي النَّدِىِّ الْأَعْلَى
Transliteration
Bismillaahi wada‘tu janbi, Allahum-maghfir li dhanbi wa akhsi’ shaytaani wa fukka rihaani waj‘alni fi’n-nadiyyi al-a‘laa
Translation
In the name of Allah, I have laid down my side for Allah. O Allah! forgive my sin, drive away my devil, free me from my responsibility, and place me in the highest assembly.
Note
When the Prophet ﷺ lay in bed at night, he used to say these words. Abul Azhar Anmari (RA) tells us this.
Say this night dua to ask Allah for forgiveness and safety. Your heart links to Allah. Shaytan stays far away. Peace comes before your eyes close for deep sleep.
The one Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said. Recite Bismillaahi wada'tu janbi to ask Allah for forgiveness and safety.
Scholars say Arabic is better for duas before bed. But if you do not know Arabic, read the meaning in English until you learn the Arabic.
It protects you from shaytan. Allah forgives your sins. You wake up with a clean heart and good energy for the new day.
Yes. Islam teaches a specific prayer before sleeping. The Prophet ﷺ taught us to say Bismillaahi wada'tu janbi to get Allah's help at night.
Repeat it every night. Listen to audio or read the transliteration: Bismillaahi wada'tu janbi before you go to sleep.
Say it when you remember. Allah is Most Merciful. He knows you wanted to recite the dua for the night.
It brings barakah. It is Sunnah. Keeps you safe. Asks Allah to put you in the highest assembly with the angels.
In this sleep dua, wada tu janbi means: I have laid down my side. You show Allah you trust Him with body and soul while you are asleep and helpless.
