What one Says in the Morning, the Evening and when going to Sleep - Section 2
Buraida said that Khalid b. al-Walid complained to God’s messenger that he was afflicted by sleeplessness at night, and God’s Prophet (ﷺ) told him to say when he went to his bed, “O God, Lord of the seven heavens and what they overshadow, Lord of the earths and what they carry, Lord of the devils and what they lead astray, be a Protector to me from the evil of Your entire creation lest any of them do evil or act wrongfully to me. Strong is Your protection and glorious is Your praise. There is no god other than You. There is no god but You.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a tradition whose isnad is not strong, and the traditions of al-Hakam b. Zuhair, the transmitter, are abandoned by some traditionists.
