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.

English Translation:

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…”
2 Abu Dawud 4/311. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmidhi 3/143.

إِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا،
وَإِنْ أَمَتَّهَا فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ العَافِيَةَ

English Translation:

Allāhumma innaka khalaqta nafsī

Allāhumma innī as’aluka ‘l-`āfiyah.

O Allah, You have created my soul
and You take it back.
Unto You is its death and its life.
If You give it life then protect it,
and if You cause it to die then forgive it.
O Allah, I ask You for strength.

بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّي وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي،
وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ،
فَإِن أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فارْحَمْهَا،
وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا

With Your Name1 my Lord, I lay myself down;
and with Your Name I rise.
And if You take my soul, have mercy on it,
and if You send it back then
protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves.2

Reference:
1 “If any of you rises from his bed and later returns to it, let him dust
off his bed with his waist garment three times and mention the Name of
Allah, for he does not know what may have entered the bed after him, and
when he lies down he should say. . . “.

The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers.
Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers.
They say: “We make no distinction between any of His Messengers,”
and they say: “We hear, and we obey.
(We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return.”
Allah burdens not a person beyond what he can bear.
He gets rewarded for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned.
Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error.
Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us.
Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear.
Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us.
You are our Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people.

Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?
He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter.
And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills.
His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth,
and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.
And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Reference:
Al-Baqarah 2:255. Whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a
guardian from Allah remain with him and Satan will not be able to come near
him until he rises in the morning. See Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani,
Fathul-Bari 4/487.

Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak,
from the evil of what He has created,
and from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness,
and from the evil of those who practice witchcraft when they blow in the knots,

Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of mankind,

who whispers in the breasts of mankind,

English Translation:

Allāhumma ṣalli wa sallim `alā nabiyyinā Muḥammad.

O Allah, we ask for your peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.
(Recite ten times in Arabic.)

Reference:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Who recites blessings upon me ten times in the
morning and ten times in the evening will obtain my intercession on the Day
of Resurrection.” At-Tabarani reported this Hadith together with two chains
of transmission. One of them is reliable (Jayyid). See Haythami’s
Majma’uz-Zawa’id 10/120, and Al-Albani’s Sahihut-Targhib wat-Tarhib 1/273.

Whoever recites this three times in the evening will be protected from
insect stings, Ahmad 2/ 290, An-Nasa’i, ‘Amalul-Yawm wal-Laylah no. 590,
At-Tirmidhi 3/187, Ibn As-Sunni no. 68. According to Al-Albani, Ibn Majah’s
(2/266) chain of transmission is sound (Sahih), and following Ibn Baz 45,
At-Tirmidhi’s report is good (Hasan).
