Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31330 — One who asked the Prophet

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Memorize what I am about to say. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When people begin filling treasures with gold and silver, fill your treasure with these words: 'O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in religion and for firm resolve upon right guidance, and for gratitude for Your blessing. I ask You for the ability to worship You in the best way. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the good that You know, I seek refuge in You from the evil that You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for the sin that You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.'"
