اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ. اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ.
O Allah, You are As-Salam (the source of peace) and from You is [all] peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Generosity. O Allah, aid me in remembering You, thanking You, and worshipping You in the best manner.
Allahumma Antas-Salamu wa minkas-salam. Tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram. Allahumma a'inni 'ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ibadatik.

Source & Authentication
Narrated Abdullah ibn Busr: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me a supplication which I would recite day and night. He also taught me to recite it when I woke up. I asked: What is it? He replied: Say: O Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth, and Lord of the Great Throne, our Lord and the Lord of all things, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an, who splits the seed of the morning; I seek refuge in You from the evil of every evil-doer, from the evil of every creeping creature which You seize by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, there is nothing before You; You are the Last, there is nothing after You; You are the Apparent, there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden, there is nothing below You. Remove the debt from us and enrich us against poverty. The narrator then added: He also instructed us to recite: Allahumma Antas-Salamu wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram. (O Allah, You are As-Salam and from You is [all] peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Generosity).
