Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Muhammad bin Ka'b narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Yazid Al-Khatmi used to supplicate as follows: O Allah! Grant me Your love, and the love of that person whose love will benefit me in Your presence. O Allah! Grant me that which I desire, and give me strength regarding that which You desire. And for those beloved things of mine which You have taken away from me, attach my heart instead to those things which are beloved to You.
