Question:
What are the supplications for waking up from sleep? And are the last verses of Surat al-Imran, from the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Baqarah 2:164], considered among the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) recited after waking up from sleep? Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse when he woke up from the night, and he said, "Woe to the one who recites it and does not reflect upon it." So following his example (peace and blessings be upon him) is praiseworthy and recommended in this matter.[Al-Ahzab 33:21], so one recites this verse while reflecting on its meaning. And the supplication that is said is what is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to say: "Praise be to Allah who returned my soul to me and gave me life after He had killed me, and to Him is the resurrection. Praise be to Allah who provided for me and sheltered me, fed me and gave me drink." Yes.

There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern
