3417. Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamān [may Allāh be pleased with him] narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ wanted to sleep, he would say: "O Allāh, in Your Name I die and I live (Allāhumma Bismika Amūtu Wa Ahyā)." And when he would wake, he would say: "All praise is due to Allāh who revived my soul after causing its death and to Him is the resurrection (Al-Ḥamdulillāh, Alladhī Ahyā Nafsī Ba'da Mā Amātahā Wa Ilaihin-Nushūr)." (Ṣaḥīh) This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīh.
٣٤١٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - «كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا». وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَا نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَهَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

In this narration sleep has been equated with death and waking up from sleep with life. In this way mentioning death and again life after death, makes one remember the Day of Judgment and life after death.
