حصن المسلم
Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim)

Chapter: Before sleeping

أذكار النوم
Hisn al-Muslim 105
Bismika Allāhumma amūtu wa aḥyā.
In Your Name, O Allah, I die and I live.
Reference:
Here, dying and living are metaphors for sleep and wakefulness. This
explains why the normal order of these words has been reversed in this
Hadith. In other contexts the living is mentioned before dying. See Qur'an
Al-Baqarah 2:258, Aal-'Imrdn 3:156, Al-A'raf 7:158 among many other
examples, (trans.). See also Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari 11/113, Muslim 4/
2083.
بِاسْـمِكَ اللّهُـمَّ أَمـوتُ وَأَحْـيا
