1316. Commentary: Benefit: It is understood that every individual receives the ability to do good deeds only from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. Therefore, one should always make this supplication, as is mentioned in the well-known hadith: «رب أعِنِّى على ذكرِكَوشكرِكَوحسنِعبادتِكَ» [Sunan an-Nasa’i, Kitab as-Sahw, Hadith: 1304]: “O Allah! Help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in an excellent manner.”
