The aforementioned was not found verbatim, but a Hadith with a similar meaning was narrated in Ibn Hibban, on the authority of Ibn Umar, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to bed in a state of ritual purity (tahir), an angel spends the night in his garment. The angel does not wake up at any hour of the night but says: 'O Allah, forgive Your servant so-and-so, for he went to bed in a state of ritual purity.'"
