حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ أَقُولُ حِينَ أَسْأَلُ رَبِّي ؟ قَالَ : " قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَيَجْمَعُ أَصَابِعَهُ إِلَّا الْإِبْهَامَ ، فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ تَجْمَعُ لَكَ دُنْيَاكَ وَآخِرَتَكَ " .
Abu Malik reported on the authority Of his father that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying to the person who bad come to him and asked him as to how he should beg his Lord, that he should utter these words: "O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, protect me, provide me sustenance," and he collected his fingers together except his thumb and said: It is in these words (that there is supplication) which sums up for you (the good) of this world and that of the Hereafter.

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.
