عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ إِنِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي تُقَرِّبْنِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ وَتُبَاعِدْنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنِّي لَا أَثِقُ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا تُوَفِّينِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ إِلَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّ عَبْدِي قَدْ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا فَأَوْفُوهُ إِيَّاهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ فَأَخْبَرْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عَوْنًا أَخْبَرَ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ مَا فِي أَهْلِنَا جَارِيَةٌ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تَقُولُ هَذَا فِي خِدْرِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever recites this supplication: “Allahumma Fatir... Innaka la tukhliful mi’ad” (O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, surely I make a covenant with You in this worldly life that I bear witness that You alone are the true God, You are One, You have no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Your Messenger. If You entrust me to myself, it would mean that You are bringing me close to evil and distancing me from good, and I have no trust except in Your mercy. So make for me a promise with You, which You will fulfill for me on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You do not break Your promise.) Whoever recites this supplication, Allah Almighty will say to the angels regarding him on the Day of Resurrection: This servant took a promise from Me, so fulfill his promise for him. Thus, Allah Almighty will admit him into Paradise. Qasim bin Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: Among our family, every girl in her chamber recites this remembrance.
