" O Allah, Thou created my being and it is for Thee to take it to its ultimate goal. And its death and life is due to Thee, and if Thou givest it life, safeguard it; and if Thou bringst death, grant it pardon. O Allah, I beg of Thee safety." A person said to him: Did you hear it from Umar? Thereupon he said: (I have heard from one) who is better than Umar, viz. from Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Nafi, reported this on the authority of Abdullah b. Harith but he did not make mention of this" that he heard it himself". (Using translation from Muslim 2712)   

أحمد:٥٥٠٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ قَالَ

اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَلَقْتَ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ تَوَفَّاهَا لَكَ مَمَاتُهَا وَمَحْيَاهَا إِنْ أَحْيَيْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا وَإِنْ أَمَتَّهَا فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا اللهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ عُمَرَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
