    اللّهُـمَّ قِنـي عَذابَـكَ يَـوْمَ تَبْـعَثُ عِبـادَك .

    Allāhumma qinī `adhābaka yawma tab`athu `ibādak.

    O Allah,1 save me from Your punishment on the Day that You resurrect Your slaves.2

    Reference:
    1 “When the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to lie down to sleep, he used to place his
    right hand under his cheek and say…”

    بِاسْـمِكَ اللّهُـمَّ أَمـوتُ وَأَحْـيا


    English Translation:

    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.
