5049. It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "When the Prophet ﷺ went to sleep he would say: 'Allāhumma bismika ahyā wa amūt (O Allāh, in Your Name I live and die).' And when he woke up he would say: 'Al-Ḥamdulillāhilladhī ahyānā ba'da mā amātanā wa ilaihin-nushūr' (Praise be to Allāh Who has brought us back to life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection).'" (Sahih)

5049 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا نَامَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَحْيَا وَأَمُوتُ» وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ: «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَمَا أَمَاتَنَا، وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ»
