What to say when one intends to sleep and is lying in bed

Allāhumma Rabba-s-samāwāt, wa Rabba-l-arḍ, wa Rabba-l-‘Arshi-l-‘aẓīm, Rabbanā wa Rabba kulli shay’, fāliqa-l-ḥabbi wa-n-nawā, wa munazzila-t-Tawrāti wa-l-Injīli wa-l-Qur’ān, a‘ūdhu bika min sharri kulli dhī sharrin Anta ākhidhun bi-nāṣiyatih, Allāhumma Anta-l-Awwalu fa-laysa qablaka shay’, wa Anta-l-Ākhiru fa-laysa ba‘daka shay’, wa Anta-ẓ-Ẓāhiru fa-laysa fawqaka shay’, wa Anta-l-Bāṭinu fa-laysa dūnaka shay’, iqḍi ‘annā-d-dayn, wa aghninā min al-faqr.
We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim, the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī, an-Nasā’ī and Ibn Mājah from Abū Hurayrah
who reported that when the Messenger of Allah
retired to his bed he said: “O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth and the Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and the Lord of all things, You Who split the seed and the grain, You Who revealed the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur’ān, I seek Your protection from the evil of every thing that You hold by the forelock. You are the First and there is none before You; You are the Last and there is none after You. You are the Manifest and there is none above You. You are the Hidden and there is none below You. Settle our debts for us and free us from poverty.” [13].Abū Dāwūd’s version reads: “Settle my debts and enrich us from poverty.”
