Dua for the Fasting Person Experiencing Nightmares or Disturbing Dreams

It was narrated from Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman that he asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace be upon him): 'Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) use to pray during the night in Ramadan?' Aisha replied: 'Yes, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray during the night in Ramadan. He used to pray in his room, and he used to pray on the roof for them. And he used to pray in the masjid for some nights, and they prayed with him. Then he left praying for them on some nights, and he said: 'I feared that it would be made obligatory for you, and you would not be able to carry it out.' He used to pray thirteen rak'ahs in the night during Ramadan. When he used to pray the (voluntary night) prayer, he used to start with two rak'ahs which were short, and if he prayed 'Isha, he would pray two rak'ahs. And if he prayed Fajr, he would pray two rak'ahs. And when he got up during the night, he would pray. Abu Salama said: 'I asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah: 'What was the prayer of the Prophet (peace be upon him) during Ramadan?' He said: 'He prayed seven rak'ahs, then he prayed Witr with one rak'ah.' Abu Salama said: 'I asked Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: 'What was the prayer of the Prophet (peace be upon him) during Ramadan?' He said: 'He prayed twenty rak'ahs and Witr with five rak'ahs.' Then Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri mentioned a Hadith similar to that of Jabir. Abu Salama said: 'I asked 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) what the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to recite in Witr.' She said: 'He used to recite: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and in You from You. I cannot count Your praises; You are as You have praised Yourself.' And she said: 'He used to recite seven, then five, then three, then one.' She also said: 'When the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray, he would say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the punishment of the Hellfire, and from the trials of the wealthy and the poor.' Then she said: 'And when he used to wake up from sleep, he would say: 'O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and the Lord of all things, the Revealer of the Torah and the Injeel and the Qur'an, the Cleaver of the seed and the date stone. I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything You are holding by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, there is nothing before You; You are the Last, there is nothing after You; You are the Apparent, there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden, there is nothing below You. Settle our debts for us and enrich us from poverty.' And she said: 'When he used to stand for prayer, he would say: 'Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. Blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty. There is no god but You.' And when he used to bow, he would say: 'O Allah, to You I bow, and in You I believe.' And when he used to raise his head from bowing, he would say: 'Allah hears him who praises Him. O Allah, our Lord, praise be to You.' And when he used to prostrate, he would say: 'O Allah, to You I prostrate, and in You I believe. O Allah, to You I complain of the difficulty of my task, and of my being overwhelmed, and of my evil fate, and of my evilness of character, and of my evil deeds, and of my evil desires.' And when he used to say the Taslim (ending the prayer), he would say: 'O Allah, forgive me for what has passed of my sin and what will come. And what I have concealed and what I have declared.' And he would say: 'O Allah, grant me a comfortable life, and a good death, and refuge from the evil of the door (of death).' And she said: 'And when he used to wake up from sleep, he would say: 'There is no god but Allah, the One Who has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is Able to do all things. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. And there is no power nor strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.' Then he would say: 'O Allah, forgive me,' or he would supplicate for whatever Allah willed he should supplicate for. And sometimes he would say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and from the punishment of Hellfire, and from the trials of this world and the Hereafter.' And sometimes he would say: 'O Allah, grant me in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save me from the punishment of the Hellfire.' And he used to say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the knowledge that does not benefit, and from a heart that does not fear (Allah), and from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.' And he used to say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You have created.' And when he used to sleep, he would put his hand under his cheek and say: 'O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your slaves.' And when he woke up from sleep, he would say: 'Praise be to Allah Who has restored me to my soul, and granted me good health in my body, and permitted me to remember Him.' And in the Hadith of Abu Dawud, it is stated that when he used to sleep, he would put his right hand under his cheek, and sometimes he would say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of all sins, and from the deeds of the devil, and from the evil of the dreams.'
