Hadith 1510

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ طُلَيْقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو : " رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ ، وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ ، وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ ، وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرْ هُدَايَ إِلَيَّ ، وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَاكِرًا لَكَ ، ذَاكِرًا لَكَ ، رَاهِبًا لَكَ ، مِطْوَاعًا إِلَيْكَ مُخْبِتًا أَوْ مُنِيبًا ، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي ، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي ، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي ، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي ، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي ، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي ، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِي " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate Allah: "My Lord, help me and do not give help against me; grant me victory, and do not grant victory over me; plan on my behalf and do not plan against me; guide me, and made my right guidance easy for me; grant me victory over those who act wrongfully towards me; O Allah, make me grateful to Thee, mindful of Thee, full of fear towards Thee, devoted to Thy obedience, humble before Thee, or penitent. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my supplication, clearly establish my evidence, guide my heart, make true my tongue and draw out malice in my breast. "

Benefits and Issues:


One should memorize the prescribed (masnun) supplications and recite them in prayers.
These supplications can also be recited while making supplication (du'a) outside of prayer.


In every kind of difficulty and calamity, one should supplicate to Allah.
In this supplication, help against enemies is also sought, as well as deliverance from one's moral shortcomings and a request for virtues and their attainment; therefore, this is a comprehensive supplication.


The meaning of a straight tongue is to be granted such success (tawfiq) that nothing sinful or misleading comes from the tongue.


Maintaining proof can mean being granted success to present correct, firm, and clear arguments during the propagation of truth, and it can also mean being granted success to give such an answer at the time of reckoning in the grave or on the Day of Resurrection that Allah, being pleased, forgives the sins and admits one to Paradise.
