Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Atiyyah narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) made this supplication: O Allah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, grant us well-being, guide us, and provide for us. Atiyyah narrates: His students requested him, "If you could add more for us, it would be better." He replied: And I seek Allah's refuge from becoming one who is greedy.

Hazrat Yahya bin Rashid narrates that we performed Hajj. When we had completed our sacrifice, we said: If we present ourselves before Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he might narrate a hadith to us. So we went to him, and he came to us and sat among us. Then he remained silent so that we might ask him something, and we remained silent so that he might narrate hadiths to us. When the silence became prolonged, he said: What is the matter with you that you do not speak? Will you not recite these words? "Allah is free from all defects, and all praise is for Allah, and there is no deity except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power to avoid sins nor strength to do good except with Allah's help." The reward for a good deed is from ten times up to seven hundred times. So if you increase in goodness, Allah will also grant you more reward.

Hazrat Nafi' narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to frequently make this supplication: O Allah! Do not take away faith from me, just as You have granted me faith.

Hazrat Abu Burdah narrates that I heard Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) supplicating as follows: "My Lord, whatever You have bestowed upon me, I will never be a helper of the criminals." Then, when he performed the prayer, he said: "I have not performed any prayer except that I hope it is an expiation for the sins that are to come." The meaning is that he said these words while in the state of bowing (ruku).

Hazrat Muhammad bin Sirin narrates that Hazrat Abu Musa used to recite these words in his supplication: O Allah! I ask You for all the goodness that is appropriate for me to ask You for, and I seek refuge in You from all the evil that it is appropriate for me to seek refuge in You from.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas used to supplicate as follows: O Allah! I ask You by the light of Your Face which has illuminated the heavens and the earth, that You take me into Your protection, Your safeguarding, Your covenant, and under Your support.
