حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَزْهَرَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ ، عَلَّمَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي " .
Abu Malik reported on the authority of his father that when a person embraced Islam, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to teach him how to observe prayer and then commanded him to supplicate in these words: "O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to the path of righteousness, grant me protection and provide me sustenance."

Benefits and Issues:
➊ If someone attains well-being from illness and hardship, and ample provision in this world, it is as if he has attained all the blessings of this world. And if, in the Hereafter, his sins are forgiven, it is as if he has attained all the blessings of the Hereafter. Mercy is such a thing upon which all the blessings of this world and the Hereafter depend. In this regard, this is an extremely comprehensive supplication.
➋ By indicating (with a gesture), a matter is better understood and firmly established in the mind.
