Hudhayfa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when the Prophet (ﷺ) went to bed at night, he would place his hand under his cheek and say: "O Allah, in Your name I die and live." When he woke up, he would say: "Praise be to Allah Who gave us life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection."
