It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to supplicate with these words: «اللَّهُمَّإِنِّيأَسْأَلُكَالْهُدَىوَالْعَفَافَوَالْغِنَى» "O Allah! I ask You for guidance, chastity, and wealth." Our companions have reported through the way of Amr «وَالتقَى» the addition: "and I ask for piety."
