WE RELATE FROM the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that Zayd ibn Thābit 
narrated: “I complained to the Messenger of Allah 
about my sleeplessness and he said: ‘Say: O Allah, the stars have set and the eyes are resting, but You are Ever-Living, Self-Subsisting. You are not overcome by slumber or sleep. O Ever-Living, Self-Subsisting, make my night calm and my eyes sleep.’ I said this and Allah took away from me what I had been experiencing.” [1].

Allāhumma ghārati-n-nujūm, wa hada’ati-l-‘uyūn, wa Anta Ḥayyun Qayyūm, lā ta’khudhuka sinatun wa lā nawm. Yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūm, ahdi’ laylī wa anim ‘aynī.
We relate in the same source that Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn Ḥabbān—with fatḥah on the letter hā’ and doubled letter bā’—related that Khālid ibn Wālid complained to the Messenger of Allah that he was afflicted by sleeplessness, so the Prophet instructed him, when he went to sleep, to seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from His wrath, from the evil of His servants, from the insinuations of Shayṭān, and from them approaching him. [2].This hadith is mursal, as Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā was a Tābi‘ī. Linguists say that the word al-araq means ‘sleepnessness’ (as-sahar).

Those whom You protect are mighty, glorious is Your praise, and there is no God other than You. There is no god but You.” [3].
