Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2710b
This Hadith transmits the bedtime dua of al-Bara b. Azib with a slight variation in wording. It notes that the narration of Mansur is fuller, while the narration of Husain adds: "If he gets up in the morning, he will get up with bliss" or good. The main teaching remains the bedtime practice: wudu like the wudu for prayer, lying on the right side, and ending the night with words of surrender, trust, and faith. The added wording gives an extra note about waking in the morning with good, as stated in this version. The Hadith also fits common searches for bedtime dua, wudu before sleep, and sleeping on the right side.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration preserves the bedtime dua with a slight wording difference.
- It notes that one route gives a fuller report.
- The added wording mentions waking in the morning with good.
- The core practice remains wudu, right-side sleeping, and ending with the dua.
