English Translation

Hajjaj told us, Sharik told us, from Abu Ishaq, from Farwah b. Nawfal, from Jabalah b. Harithah, who said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something to say at the time of my sleep." He said: "When you take to your bed, say 'Say: O disbelievers...' until you finish it, for it is a disavowal of associating partners with Allah." Aswad told us: Sharik told us — he said "Jabalah" without doubt — and 'Ali, that is Ibn al-Madini, said: "Jabalah b. Harithah al-Kalbi." 'Ali said: I heard it from Ibn Abi al-Wazir. 'Abdullah said: My father narrated it to us, from 'Ali, before he was tested concerning the [createdness of the] Qur'an.
