Al-Adab Al-Mufrad
Book 50, Hadith 13
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَلْيَأْخُذْ دَاخِلَةَ إِزَارِهِ، فَلْيَنْفُضْ بِهَا فِرَاشَهُ وَلْيُسَمِّ اللَّهَ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَعْلَمُ مَا خَلَّفَهُ بَعْدَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَضْطَجِعَ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ وَلْيَقُلْ: سُبْحَانَكَ رَبِّي، بِكَ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ، إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ.

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir related to us: Anas ibn ‘Iyad related to us, from ‘Ubayd Allah, who said: Sa‘id al-Maqburi related to me, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘When one of you goes to bed, let him take the inner edge of his waist-wrapper, dust his bed with it, and mention Allah’s name, for he does not know what may have come onto his bed after he left it. When he wishes to lie down, let him lie on his right side and say: “Glory be to You, my Lord. By You I lay my side down, and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, forgive it; and if You release it, guard it as You guard Your righteous servants.”’

داخلة إزاره refers to the inner fold or edge of the waist-wrapper used to dust the bed.
The witness inserts a separate basmalah; the Arabic source here says to mention Allah’s name without quoting a formula.
