ٱللَّهُمَّ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِى وَأَنتَ تَوَفَّاهَا لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْيَاهَا إِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَٱحْفَظْهَا وَإِنْ أَمَتَّهَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَهَا ٱللَّهُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَسْئَلُكَ ٱلْعَافِيَةَ

Allaahumma khalaqta nafsee wa anta tawaffaahaa, laka mamaatuhaa wa mahyaahaa. In ahyaytahaa fahfazhaa wa in amattahaa faghfir lahaa. Allaahumma innee as'alukal 'aafiyah.

O Allah, Thou created my being and it is for Thee to take it to its ultimate goal. And its death and life is due to Thee, and if Thou givest it life, safeguard it; and if Thou bringest death, grant it pardon. O Allah, I beg of Thee safety.

Sahih Muslim — Hadith 2712· Narrated by Abdullah bin 'Umar

Full Hadith

Abdullah b. 'Umar commanded a person that as he went to bed, he should say:" O Allah, Thou created my being and it is for Thee to take it to its ultimate goal. And its death and life is due to Thee, and if Thou givest it life, safeguard it; and if Thou bringest death, grant it pardon. O Allah, I beg of Thee safety." A person said to him: Did you hear it from Umar? Thereupon he said: (I have heard from one) who is better than Umar, viz. from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Ibn Nafi, reported this on the authority of Abdullah b. Harith but he did not make mention of this" that he heard it himself".
