Abu Hurairah (ra) said: The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Used To Teach His Companions, Saying: “When One Of You Reached The Morning, Then Let Him Say: ‘O Allah, By You We Enter The Morning, And By You We Enter The Evening, And Be You We Live, And By You We Died, And To You Is The Return (Allāhumma Bika AṣBaḥNā Wa Bika Amsainā Wa Bika NaḥYā Wa Bika Namūtu Wa Ilaikal-MaṣĪr). And When He Reaches The Evening Let Him Say: ‘O Allah, By You We Enter The Evening, And By You We Enter The Morning, And By You We Live, And By You We Die, And To You Is The Resurrection (Allāhumma Bika Amsainā Wa Bika AṣBaḥNā Wa Bika NaḥYā Wa Bika Namūtu Wa Ilaikan-Nushūr).’”

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3391
This hadith about Allahumma bika asbahna records a morning and evening dua taught by the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم to his companions. In the morning, the words say: by You we enter morning, by You we enter evening, by You we live, by You we die, and to You is the return. In the evening, the wording changes to fit the time and ends with “to You is the resurrection.” The hadith is easy to understand because it connects the start and end of each day to Allah. It also reminds the believer that life, death, return, and resurrection are all tied to Him. This makes the dua a daily statement of dependence on Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught his companions words for morning and evening.
- The dua links daily life and death to Allah.
- The morning wording mentions return to Allah.
- The evening wording mentions resurrection.
