in Your Name i Die And Live
From Sleep Azkar — Hisnul Muslim
One of the shortest and most comprehensive sleep azkar, said as the believer settles into bed so that his sleeping and waking are in the name of Allah. It is the companion of the waking dhikr 'Praise be to Allah who gave us life after death,' since sleep is a minor death and waking a renewed life.
