*NABI ﷺ’S GUIDANCE ABOUT INSOMNIA*

*Insomnia (sleeplessness):*

1. Sulaiman Bin Buraidah رضي الله عنه narrated that his father said that Khalid Bin Waleed رضي الله عنه complained to Nabi ﷺ: ‘O Rasoolullah ﷺ! I do not sleep at night due to insomnia.’ So Nabi ﷺ replied: When you go to your bed, recite: -

‎اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظَلَّتْ وَرَبَّ الأَرَضِينَ وَمَا أَقَلَّتْ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّ خَلْقِكَ كُلِّهِمْ جَمِيعًا أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَىَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ أَنْ يَبْغِيَ عَلَىَّ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَجَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

O Allah, Lord of the Seven Heavens & what they have shaded, Lord of the earths & what they carry, Lord of the Shayaateen & those they have misguided, be for me a Protector against the evil of Your creation, all of them together, so that none of them should transgress against me, or oppress me, mighty is the one who seeks protection in You & glorified is Your praise & there is none worthy of worship other than You & there is none worthy of worship except You.

[Tirmizi: 3523; Book. 48, English vol. 6; Book 45, Hadees. 3523]

2. *One should not sleep immediately after eating & do some zikr or offer Salah is best.*

[Shamail-e-Kubra; vol. 1; page. 94]
