:Al-Bara' b. ' Azib reported that Allah's, Messenger (may peace be upon) said: When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as is done for prayer; then lie down pn the right side and recite : " O Allah, I turn my face towards Thee and entrust my affair to Thee. I retreat unto Thee for protection with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship) but Thou only. I affirm my faith in Thine books which Thou revealed and in Thine Apostles whom Thou sent." Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon Fitra (upon Islam). And as I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory, I said:" I affirm my faith in Thy Messenger ( Rasul ) whom Thou sent." He said: Say:" I affirm my faith in the Apostle ( Nabi ) whom Thou sent." . Reference : Sahih Muslim
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " When one of you goes to bed, he should dust his bed with the inside of his lower garment. he should say, 'In the Name of Allah. ' He does not know what might have come on it after he left it. If he wants to lie down, he should lie down on his right side and say, 'Glory be to You, my Lord, I have laid down on my side by You and I raise it up by You. If you take my soul, then forgive it. If you release it, then guard over it as You guard over Your righteous slaves.'" Grade : Sahih
