Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: شَكَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُول الله مَا أَنَام من اللَّيْلَ مِنَ الْأَرَقِ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظَلَّتْ وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ وَمَا أَقَلَّتْ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّ خَلْقِكَ كُلِّهِمْ جَمِيعًا أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ أَنْ يَبْغِيَ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيّ والحكَمُ بن ظُهيرٍ الرَّاوِي قد ترَكَ حديثَهُ بعضُ أهل الحَدِيث

Translation

Buraydah reported that Khalid ibn al-Walid complained to the Prophet ﷺ, saying, “O Messenger of Allah, I cannot sleep at night because of insomnia.” The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, “When you go to bed, say: ‘O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all they overshadow, Lord of the earths and all they carry, and Lord of the devils and all they lead astray, be my Protector against the evil of all Your creation, lest any of them overtake or transgress against me. Mighty is the protection of Your covenant, and exalted is Your praise. There is no god besides You; there is no god but You.’” Reported by al-Tirmidhi, who said, “This hadith’s chain is not strong.” Some hadith scholars abandoned the narrator al-Hakam ibn Zuhayr. The hadith was not studied by al-Albani.
