Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31505 — Reports from Abdullah bin Mas'ud

Ma'n said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), when supplicating, used to say: "O Allah, help me against the terrors of this world, the hardships of time and the calamities of the days and nights, and be sufficient for me against the evil of what the wrongdoers do on the earth. O Allah, be my companion on my journey and my deputy when I am at home; make me beloved to You, make me honoured in the eyes of the people, mention me within Yourself, make my self lowly before You, and keep me far from bad character. O Most Merciful, to whom will You entrust me? You are my Lord. To a distant one who frowns upon me, or to a near one into whose hands You will give charge of my affair?"
