Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When any of you goes to bed, let him dust off his bed with the inside of his garment, for he does not know what has come on it. Then let him say: 'In Your name, my Lord, I lay my side down, and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, have mercy on it, and if You release it, protect it as You protect Your righteous servants.'"
