Hadith on Dua: The Prophet’s supplication for sleep, waking up

Hudhayfah reported: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, laid down at night, he would place his hand under his cheek and then say, “O Allah, in Your name I die and I live.” When the Prophet would awaken, he would say, “All praise is due to Allah, who has given us life after our death, and unto Him is the Resurrection.

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ
