Physical Sunnan Before You Lie Down
Read the physical adab first
Physical Sunnan
- Make Wudu (as you would for Salah).
- Dust the bed 3 times with the inside of your garment.
- Lie on your RIGHT side.
- Place your RIGHT hand under your right cheek.
- Say Bismillah before lying down.
Commentary
Do these physical adab BEFORE starting the adhkar. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever goes to sleep without remembering Allah, that will be a source of regret for him on the Day of Resurrection." Shaytan actively tries to make you fall asleep before finishing — begin as soon as you get into bed.
