What is the correct wording for the mentioned morning and evening adhkar, and is it better to say "wa ilayka al-nushoor" (and to You is the resurrection) or "wa ilayka al-maseer" (and to You is the ultimate return), with evidence?

The narrators differed on the wording of the morning and evening supplication (du'a'), but the most preferable versions are: "اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ" (O Allah, by Your grace we have entered the morning, and by Your grace we have entered the evening, by Your grace we live, and by Your grace we die, and to You is the resurrection) for the morning, and "اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ" (O Allah, by Your grace we have entered the evening, and by Your grace we have entered the morning, by Your grace we live, and by Your grace we die, and to You is the ultimate return) for the evening. This is because they align with the meaning and context, as morning is a waking from sleep that resembles resurrection from death, and evening is an entering into sleep that resembles the ultimate return to Allah.
