O Allah, By You We Enter the Evening
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ
Allahumma bika amsayna, wa bika asbahna, wa bika nahya, wa bika namutu, wa ilaykal-masir.
O Allah, by You we enter the evening and by You we enter the morning, by You we live and by You we die, and to You is the final return.
What it means
The evening form of the same dua, ending with the words to You is the final return. Said at the end of a day it lands differently from the morning version: the day is spent, and you are one day nearer the return it mentions.
When and how
Say it once in the evening, after Asr or Maghrib.
Its virtue
Taught by the Prophet ﷺ as the evening counterpart, reported in Sunan Abi Dawud 5068 and Jami at-Tirmidhi 3391.
