From the book โ€˜Saheeh Targheeb wa Tarheebโ€™ the chapter titled: an encouragement of what to say when going to sleep and also what is mentioned about the one who sleeps and does not remember Allaah Taala.

From al-Bara bin Aazib -RadhiAllaahu anhu who said the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam said:

โ€˜When you come to your place of sleep, then perform Wudu the like of the Wudu for the prayer, then lie down on your right hand side and say:

ุงู„ู„ู‡ู… ุฅู†ู‘ูŠ ุฃุณู„ู…ุชู ู†ูุณูŠ ุฅู„ูŠูƒู’ุŒ ูˆูˆุฌู‘ูŽู‡ู’ุชู ูˆุฌู‡ูŠ ุฅู„ูŠูƒุŒ ูˆููˆู‘ูŽุถุชู ุฃู…ุฑูŠ ุฅู„ูŠูƒุŒ ูˆุฃู„ุฌุฃุชู ุธูŽู‡ุฑูŠ ุฅู„ูŠูƒุŒ ุฑุบุจุฉู‹ ูˆุฑู‡ุจุฉู‹ ุฅู„ูŠูƒุŒ ู„ุง ู…ู„ุฌุฃ ูˆู„ุง ู…ู†ุฌุงู‹ ู…ู†ูƒ ุฅู„ุง ุฅู„ูŠูƒุŒ ุขู…ู†ุชู ุจูƒุชุงุจูƒ ุงู„ุฐูŠ ุฃู†ุฒู„ุชูŽุŒ ูˆู†ุจูŠู‘ููƒ ุงู„ุฐูŠ ุฃุฑุณู„ุชูŽ

โ€˜O Allaah indeed I have submitted my soul to You, I have turned my face to You,
I have entrusted my matters to You I have relied upon You, with hope and fear of You, there is no refuge nor any success from You except by turning to You,

I have believed in Your Book which You revealed and the Prophet whom You sent.โ€™

Transliteration
Allahumma inni aslaamtu nafsi ilayk,
wa wajjahtu wajhi ilayk, wa fawwadtu amri ilayk, wa aljaโ€™tu dhahri ilayk, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayk, la maljaโ€™a wa la manja minka illa ilayk, amantu bikitabik alladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyik alladhi arsalta

If you died on that night then you will have died upon the natural disposition. Make this supplication the last thing that you say.โ€™

Al-Bara said: so I repeated the supplication to the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam and when I reached the part:

ุขู…ู†ุชู ุจูƒุชุงุจููƒ ุงู„ุฐูŠ ุฃู†ุฒู„ู’ุชูŽ

โ€˜I have believed in Your Book which You revealedโ€ฆโ€™
I added the word (meaning inthe next part of the Dua),
ูˆุฑุณูˆู„ููƒ!
โ€˜and Your Messengerโ€™.

The Prophet said: โ€˜No, but say,

โ€œูˆู†ุจูŠู‘ููƒ ุงู„ุฐูŠ ุฃุฑุณู„ุชูŽโ€

โ€˜and the Prophet whom You sent.โ€™

[Collected by Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Nisaโ€™ee and Ibn Majah]

In the narration of Bukhari and Tirmidhi, the Prophet said:
ูุฅู†ู‘ูƒ ุฅู†ู’ ู…ูุชู‘ูŽ ู…ู† ู„ูŠู„ุชููƒุŒ ู…ูุชู‘ูŽ ุนู„ู‰ ุงู„ูุทุฑุฉูุŒ ูˆุฅู†ู’ ุฃุตุจุญุชูŽ ุฃุตุจุชูŽ ุฎูŠุฑุงู‹
โ€˜If you died on that night then you will have died upon the natural disposition and if reach the morning then you have reached the morning with goodness.โ€™
