Anas bin Malik (ra) narrated that : When He Went To His Bed, The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Used To Say: “All Praise Is Due To Allah, Who Has Fed Us And Given Us To Drink, And Has Sufficed And Granted Us Refuge, And How Many Are They Who Have None To Suffice Them And None To Grant Them Refuge (Al-ḤAmdulillāhi Alladhi Aṭ`Amanā Wa Saqānā Wa Kafānā Wa Āwānā, Wakam Mimman Lā Kāfiya Lahu Wa Lā Mu'Wiy).”
