Imam al-Sadiq (`a) reported the Holy Prophet (s) as saying: Whoever intends to wake up at a particular time , may say the following words before he goes to sleep. If he does, Almighty Allah will order an angel to awaken him at the very time he intends to wake up:

1

اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ

O Allah, (please) do not make me feel secure against Your plans,
2

وَلاَ تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ

do not make me forget remembrance of You,
3

وَلاَ تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ ٱلْغَافِلِينَ

and do not include me with the inattentive ones.
4

أَقُومُ سَاعَةَ…

I may wake up at… (The time at which one intends to wake up may be mentioned now.)
