Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا» . وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ: «الْحَمْدُ الله الَّذِي أَحْيَانًا بَعْدَمَا مَا أماتنا وَإِلَيْهِ النشور» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ وَمُسلم عَن الْبَراء

Translation

Hudhayfah reported that when the Prophet ﷺ lay down at night, he would place his hand beneath his cheek and say, “O Allah, in Your name I die and I live.” When he awoke, he would say, “Praise belongs to Allah, who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.” Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Both chains are graded Sahih by al-Albani.
