Status Reference : Hisn al-Muslim 105
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.
