Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31149 — Supplicating for well-being

The father of Abu Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): A man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "How should I supplicate when I ask my Lord?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, grant me well-being, and provide for me.'" And he (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered his four fingers, other than the thumb, and said: "For all these things encompass your religion and your worldly life." (Or: gather them.)
