Hadith 5661
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْصَى سَلْمَانَ الْخَيْرَ قَالَ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَمْنَحَكَ كَلِمَاتٍ تَسْأَلُهُنَّ الرَّحْمَنَ تَرْغَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهِنَّ وَتَدْعُو بِهِنَّ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ صِحَّةَ إِيمَانٍ وَإِيمَانًا فِي خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ وَنَجَاحًا يَتْبَعُهُ فَلَاحٌ يَعْنِي وَرَحْمَةً مِنْكَ وَعَافِيَةً وَمَغْفِرَةً مِنْكَ وَرِضْوَانًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this advice to Sayyiduna Salman Khair (may Allah be pleased with him): Verily, the Prophet of Allah wants to grant you a few words, through which you will ask the Most Merciful, through which you will express your desire towards Him, and you will recite them day and night. Say: O Allah! I ask You for the health of faith, and faith with good character, and success that is followed by prosperity, that is, and mercy from You, and well-being, and forgiveness from You, and Your pleasure. (O Allah! I ask You for perfect faith, faith with good character, and the fulfillment of a successful purpose. I ask You for mercy, well-being, forgiveness, and Your pleasure.)
Hadith 5662
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْعَبَّاسِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا عَمُّكَ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَاقْتَرَبَ أَجَلِي فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ قَالَ يَا عَبَّاسُ أَنْتَ عَمِّي وَلَا أُغْنِي عَنْكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنْ سَلْ رَبَّكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ عِنْدَ قَرْنِ الْحَوْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), that he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am your uncle, now I have become old and the time of my death has drawn near, so teach me something through which Allah Almighty may benefit me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abbas! You are my uncle, but I cannot suffice for you before Allah Almighty. However, you should ask your Lord for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this three times. Then, when he came at the end of the year, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the same thing again.
Hadith 5663
عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فَبَكَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْقَيْظِ عَامَ الْأَوَّلِ سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ وَالْيَقِينَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rifa’ah bin Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) saying this on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and when he mentioned the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to weep. Then, after this state passed, he said: Last year, in the intense heat of summer, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: In this world and the Hereafter, ask Allah Almighty for forgiveness, well-being, and perfect faith.
Hadith 5664
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا فِي الدُّنْيَا خَيْرًا مِنَ الْيَقِينِ وَالْمُعَافَاةِ فَسَلُوهُمَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: O people! No one has been given anything better in this world than perfect faith and well-being, so ask Allah Almighty for these two things.
Hadith 5665
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ تَسْأَلُ رَبَّكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ تَسْأَلُ رَبَّكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ تَسْأَلُ رَبَّكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أُعْطِيتَهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ أُعْطِيتَهُمَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَقَدْ أَفْلَحْتَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which supplication is the best? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That you ask your Lord for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. Then the same man came the next day and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which supplication is the best? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That you ask your Lord for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. Then the same man came on the third day and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which supplication is the best? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That you ask your Lord for forgiveness and well-being in this world and the Hereafter; if these two things are granted to you in this world and then also given to you in the Hereafter, you will be successful.
Hadith 5666
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَلِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى الْهُدَى وَالسَّدَادَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ
Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that it is reported from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ask Allah Almighty for guidance and uprightness, and by guidance you should mean that you are guided to the straight path, and by uprightness you should mean that you are made straight like an arrow.
Hadith 5667
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَّمَهُ دُعَاءً وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَعَاهَدَ بِهِ أَهْلَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَالَ قُلْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ حِينَ تُصْبِحُ لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ وَالْخَيْرُ فِي يَدَيْكَ وَمِنْكَ وَبِكَ وَإِلَيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ مَا قُلْتُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ نَذَرْتُ مِنْ نَذْرٍ أَوْ حَلَفْتُ مِنْ حَلْفٍ فَمَشِيئَتُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مَا شِئْتَ كَانَ وَمَا لَمْ تَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ وَمَا صَلَّيْتُ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ فَعَلَى مَنْ صَلَّيْتَ وَمَا لَعَنْتُ مِنْ لَعْنَةٍ فَعَلَى مَنْ لَعَنْتَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ وَبَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَمَاتِ وَلَذَّةَ نَظَرٍ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَشَوْقًا إِلَى لِقَائِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ أَعُوذُ بِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ أَوْ أَعْتَدِيَ أَوْ يُعْتَدَى عَلَيَّ أَوْ أَكْتَسِبَ خَطِيئَةً مُحْبِطَةً أَوْ ذَنْبًا لَا يُغْفَرُ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ فَإِنِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَأُشْهِدُكَ وَكَفَى بِكَ شَهِيدًا أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَكَ الْمُلْكُ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ وَعْدَكَ حَقٌّ وَلِقَاءَكَ حَقٌّ وَالْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَالسَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنْتَ تَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ إِنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي تَكِلْنِي إِلَى ضَيْعَةٍ وَعَوْرَةٍ وَذَنْبٍ وَخَطِيئَةٍ وَإِنِّي لَا أَثِقُ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him a supplication and instructed him to ensure that his family members also recite this supplication every day (i.e., all members should recite it daily). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every morning say: I am present (for Your obedience), O Allah! I am present, and I am present. Goodness is in Your hand, it is from You, it is with You, and it is to You. O Allah! Whatever I have said, whatever vow I have made, and whatever oath I have taken, Your will is above all of them. Whatever You will happens, and whatever You do not will does not happen. There is no power to avoid evil and no strength to do good except with You. Surely, You have power over all things. O Allah! The mercy I have prayed for is for the one upon whom You have sent mercy, and the curse I have invoked is upon the one whom You have cursed. Surely, You are my friend in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim and join me with the righteous. O Allah! I ask You for contentment after Your decree, comfort after death, the pleasure of looking at Your Face, and the longing to meet You, but not in a way that brings harmful distress or a misleading trial. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from oppressing or being oppressed, from committing excess or having excess committed against me, from committing a sin that wastes deeds, or from committing an unforgivable sin. O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the unseen and the seen! Possessor of majesty and honor! Surely, I make a promise to You in this worldly life and make You a witness, and You are sufficient as a witness, that I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You. You are alone, You have no partner. Sovereignty belongs to You, all praise is for You, and You have power over all things. And I also bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Your Messenger, and I bear witness that Your promise is true, Your meeting is true, Paradise is true, the Day of Judgment is undoubtedly coming, and You will resurrect those in the graves. And I also bear witness that if You entrust me to myself, it would mean that You have left me to loss, defect, sin, and error, and I have no reliance except on Your mercy. So forgive all my sins for me, for You are the Forgiver of sins, and accept my repentance. Surely, You are the Acceptor of repentance and the Most Merciful.

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ مُتَكَلِّمًا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَلَكَ الْمُلْكُ كُلُّهُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ إِلَيْكَ يُرْجَعُ الْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ عَلَانِيَتُهُ وَسِرُّهُ فَأَهْلٌ أَنْ تُحْمَدَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي جَمِيعَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ ذَنْبِي وَاعْصِمْنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِي وَارْزُقْنِي عَمَلًا زَاكِيًا تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنِّي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاكَ مَلَكٌ أَتَاكَ يُعَلِّمُكَ تَحْمِيدَ رَبِّكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I was leading the prayer when, in the middle of the prayer, I heard a man reciting this supplication: "O Allah! All praise is for You, all sovereignty is for You, all goodness is in Your hand, all matters are returned to You, whether open or hidden. You are worthy of being praised. Indeed, You have power over all things. O Allah! Forgive me all the sins I have committed, protect me in the remaining part of my life, and grant me pure deeds by which You will be pleased with me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding this supplication and voice: This was an angel who came to teach you how to praise your Lord.
Hadith 5669
عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا كَنَزَ النَّاسُ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ فَاكْنِزُوا هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا وَأَسْأَلُكَ لِسَانًا صَادِقًا وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people begin to accumulate gold and silver, you should begin to accumulate these words: "O Allah! I ask You for steadfastness in the matter (of religion), and determination upon guidance, and I ask You for gratitude for Your blessing, and I ask You for the excellence of worshipping You, and I ask You for a sound heart, and I ask You for a truthful tongue, and I ask You for the best of what You know, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Surely, You are the Knower of the unseen."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ وَعَائِشَةُ تُصَلِّي فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْكِ بِالْكَوَامِلِ أَوْ كَلِمَةً أُخْرَى فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَسْتَعِيذُكَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَكَ مِنْهُ عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مَا قَضَيْتَ لِي مِنْ أَمْرٍ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَاقِبَتَهُ رَشَدًا وَفِي لَفْظٍ وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ تَقْضِيهِ لِي خَيْرًا
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to say something, while Sayyidah herself was praying. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyidah: Be sure to observe the completion (of prayer). Or the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said something similar. When she finished and asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this instruction, he said: Recite this supplication:
“O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for all good, immediate and delayed, that which I know of and that which I do not know of, and I seek refuge in You from all evil, immediate and delayed, that which I know of and that which I do not know of. And I ask You for Paradise and for every word or deed that brings one closer to it, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and from every word or deed that brings one closer to it. And I ask You for every good that Your servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from every evil from which Your servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge. And I ask You that whatever decree You have made for me, make its outcome good.” (In another wording: “And I ask You to make every decree You decree for me good.”)
(O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for every kind of good, whether it comes soon or later, whether I know of it or not, and I seek refuge in You from every kind of evil, whether it comes soon or later, whether I know of it or not. I ask You for Paradise and for every word or deed that brings one closer to it. I seek refuge in You from the Fire and from every word or deed that brings one closer to it. Rather, I ask You for every good that Your servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from every evil from which Your servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge. And I ask You that whatever decision You have made for me, make its outcome good.) In one narration, the last sentence is: I ask You that whatever decision You have made for me, place good in it.

Hadith 5671
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تُعَلِّمُنِي دَعْوَةً أَدْعُو بِهَا لِنَفْسِي قَالَ بَلَى قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَأَذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قَلْبِي وَأَجِرْنِي مِنْ مُضِلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will you not teach me a supplication through which I may pray for myself?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, of course, you should supplicate as follows: O Allah, Lord of Muhammad the Prophet! Forgive my sin, remove the anger from my heart, and protect me from the misguiding trials as long as You keep us alive."

عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ أَنَّ حُصَيْنًا أَوْ حَصِينًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَعَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ كَانَ خَيْرًا لِقَوْمِهِ مِنْكَ كَانَ يُطْعِمُهُمُ الْكَبِدَ وَالسَّنَامَ وَأَنْتَ تَنْحَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ قَالَ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي شَرَّ نَفْسِي وَاعْزِمْ لِي عَلَى أَرْشَدِ أَمْرِي قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَأَسْلَمَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ فَقُلْتَ لِي قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي شَرَّ نَفْسِي وَاعْزِمْ لِي عَلَى أَرْشَدِ أَمْرِي فَمَا أَقُولُ الْآنَ قَالَ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَخْطَأْتُ وَمَا عَمَدْتُ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ وَمَا جَهِلْتُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) or from another companion that a man named Husain or Hasin came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad! ‘Abd al-Muttalib was better for his people than you; he used to feed them liver and hump, while you command them to slaughter camels. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the answer that Allah Almighty willed, then he said: What do you command me to say? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite this supplication: “Allahumma qini sharri nafsi, wa a’zim li ‘ala arshadi amri” (O Allah! Protect me from the evil of my soul, and strengthen my resolve upon the most guided matter). That man went away, but then returned as a Muslim and said: I had come to you and you taught me this supplication: “Allahumma qini sharri nafsi, wa a’zim li ‘ala arshadi amri.” Now what should I say? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Make this supplication: “Allahumma ighfir li ma asrartu wa ma a’lantu wa ma akhta’tu wa ma ‘amattu wa ma ‘alimtu wa ma jahiltu.” (O Allah! Forgive me for those sins which I committed secretly and those which I committed openly, those which I committed unintentionally and those which I committed deliberately, and those which I know of and those which I do not know of).
Hadith 5673
عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي طَارِقُ بْنُ أَشْيَمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقُولُ حِينَ أَسْأَلُ رَبِّي قَالَ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَقَبَضَ أَصَابِعَهُ الْأَرْبَعَ إِلَّا الْإِبْهَامَ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَجْمَعْنَ لَكَ دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتَكَ
Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My father, Sayyiduna Tariq bin Ashyam (may Allah be pleased with him), narrated to me that when a man would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: O Messenger of Allah! When I ask my Lord, what should I say? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would tell him to say: "Allahumma ighfir li warhamni wahdini warzuqni" (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, and provide for me). At the same time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered four fingers except the thumb and said: These words will gather for you the goodness of this world and the Hereafter.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was praying, and in his supplication he was saying these words: "O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for patience." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have asked for trial, so ask Allah for well-being." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by another man, and he was supplicating: "O Allah! I ask You for the completion of Your blessing." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O son of Adam! Do you know what the completion of blessing is?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I only supplicated with the hope of good." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, freedom from Hell and entry into Paradise is the completion of blessing." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to another man, and he was saying these words: "Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Possessor of Majesty and Honor)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, your supplication has been accepted, so ask."
Hadith 5676
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا اسْتَجَارَ عَبْدٌ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ إِلَّا قَالَتِ النَّارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهُ مِنِّي وَلَا يَسْأَلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ إِيَّايَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When a person seeks refuge from Hell three times, Hell says: O Allah! Grant this person refuge from me. Similarly, when a person asks for Paradise three times, Paradise says: O Allah! Admit him into me.
Hadith 5677
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.
