Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 36963 — Reports on Dawud (peace be upon him)

Abbas al-Ammi said: It has reached me that Dawud (peace be upon him) used to say in his supplication: "Glory be to You, O Allah! You are my Lord. You are exalted above Your Throne (in a manner befitting Your majesty). You have placed awe of You upon those who dwell in the heavens and the earth. Among the creation, the one who fears You most is the one nearest to You. The knowledge of one who does not fear You is worthless! And one who does not obey You is without understanding."
