Recite a special prayer before going to sleep , Shake off your bedsheet .

This hadith encourages us to recite a special prayer before going to bed. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that we should shake off our bedsheets in case something has fallen on it. He then recited the following prayer “Bismika Rabbi wada'tu janbi, wa bika arfa'uhu, in amsakta nafsi farhamha, wa in arsaltaha fahfazha bima tahfazu bihi 'ibadakas-salihin” which translates as “With Your Name my Rabb I place my side upon the bed and with Your Grace I will raise it up. If You withhold my soul have mercy on it but if You let it go guard it against which You guarded Your pious slaves”. This is an important reminder for us all that we should take time out of our day for spiritual reflection and protection from Allah SWT even when we are about to sleep. We should also be mindful of what might have fallen onto our beds during the day so that we can keep ourselves safe from any harm or danger while sleeping at night.
