Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي بِلَالٍ عَنْ عِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الْمُسَبِّحَاتِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْقُدَ وَقَالَ إِنَّ فِيهِنَّ آيَةً أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ آيَةٍ.

Yazid ibn Abd Rabbihi told us: Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid told us, he said: Bahir ibn Sa'd told me, from Khalid ibn Ma'dan, from Ibn Abi Bilal, from Irbad ibn Sariyah, that he told them that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite the glorifying surahs before he slept, and he said: Indeed among them is a verse better than a thousand verses.
