3391. Abū Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to teach his Companions, saying:
“When one of you reaches the morning, then let him say: ‘O Allāh, by You we enter the morning, and by You we enter the evening, and by You we live, and by You we die, and to You is the Return (Allāhumma Bika Aṣbahnā Wa Bika Amsainā Wa Bika Nahyā Wa Bika Namūtu Wa Ilaikal-Maṣir).’ And when he reaches the evening let him say: ‘O Allāh, by You we enter the evening, and by You we enter the morning, and by You we live, and by You we die, and to You is the Resurrection (Allāhumma Bika Amsainā Wa Bika Aṣbahnā Wa Bika Nahyā Wa Bika Namūtu Wa Ilaikan-Nushur).’”

Commentary
As the time and the cycle of the day and night is in Allāh's control, likewise our life and death is also in His control. On the Day of Judgment we have to appear before Him to account for our deeds, therefore, we should not spend our life in carelessness and heedlessness regarding our duties to Allāh (ك).
