Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ma'n narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to supplicate as follows: O Allah! Help me against the terrors of the world, and against the hardships of the times, and against the calamities of day and night, and suffice me against the evil of the deeds of the oppressors in the land. O Allah! Be my companion and friend in my travels, and be my deputy in my stay, and make me beloved to You, and make me honorable in the eyes of people, and mention me in Your own Self, and make my soul humble before You, and keep me away from bad character. O Most Merciful! To whom will You entrust me? You are my Lord—will it be to someone distant who will frown upon me, or to someone near to whom You will hand over the reins of my affairs?
