Muwatta Malik: Book 15, Hadith 45
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu’d-Darda used to rise in the middle of the night and say, “Eyes have slept, and stars have set, and You are the Living and Self Subsistent.”

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، كَانَ يَقُومُ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ نَامَتِ الْعُيُونُ وَغَارَتِ النُّجُومُ وَأَنْتَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ .
