´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that :` the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "In the morning say: 'Allahumma bika asbahna, wa bika amsayna, wa bika nahya, wa bika namut (O Allah, by Your leave we have reached the morning and by Your leave we reach the evening, and by Your leave we live and by Your leave we die). And when evening comes, say: Allahumma bika amsayna, wa bika asbahna, wa bika nahya, wa bika namut, wa ilaykal-masir (O Allah, by Your leave we have reached the evening and by Your leave we reach the morning, and by Your leave we live and by Your leave we die, and unto You is our return)."

Benefits and Issues:
In a narration of Sunan Abu Dawud, at the end of the morning supplication, the words (wa ilayka an-nushur) are also mentioned. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Al-Adab, Chapter: What to say when one wakes up in the morning, Hadith: 5068)
Whereas in the narration of Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, at the end of the morning supplication, (wa ilayka al-maseer) is mentioned, and at the end of the evening supplication, (wa ilayka an-nushur) is mentioned.
Therefore, whichever of these wordings the supplication is recited with, insha’Allah it will be accepted.

O Allah! By Your command we have reached the morning and by Your command we have reached the evening;
by Your command we live and by Your command we shall die. 2؎ :
By Your command we have reached the evening and by Your command we had reached the morning;
by Your command we live and when Your command comes,
we shall die, and to You alone we shall be resurrected.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الأدب، باب ما يقول إذا أصبح، حديث:5068، والترمذي، الدعوات، حديث:3391، وابن ماجه، الدعاء، حديث:3868، والنسائي في الكبرٰي:6 /5، 145، حديث:9836، 10399.»©Explanation:
➊ This hadith proves that every blessing attained by a human being is solely from Allah; no wali (saint), angel, or even any prophet has any share in it. All of them themselves are in need of Him.
➋ It is also understood from this that there is a deep connection between sleep and death. A person’s awakening from sleep is, in a sense, like being brought back to life after death. For this reason, in the evening remembrance (adhkar), the word "al-maseer" (the final return) is used, because that is the time of sleep, and the time of rising is the morning. Accordingly, in the remembrance for this, the word "al-nushoor" (the resurrection) is used.
