Musnad Abi Ya'la 1624 — he said: I was with Sayyiduna Ammar while he

It is narrated from al-Sa'ib (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I was with Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was making a supplication in his prayer, and a man came to him. Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Say these words: 'Allahumma bi-'ilmika al-ghayba wa qudratika 'ala al-khalqi, ahyini ma 'alimta al-hayata khayran li, wa-qbidni idha 'alimta al-wafata khayran li. Allahumma inni as'aluka al-khashyata fi al-ghaybi wa al-shahadah, wa kalimata al-haqqi fi al-rida wa al-ghadab, wa al-qasda fi al-ghina wa al-faqr, wa as'aluka al-rida ba'da al-qada', wa barda al-'ayshi ba'da al-mawt, wa as'aluka shawqan ila liqa'ika min ghayri darra'a mudirratin wa la fitnatin mudillah. Allahumma zayyinni bi-zinati al-iman, wa-j'alni min al-hudati al-muhtadin' (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive as long as You know life to be better for me, and take me when You know death to be better for me. O Allah, I ask You for fear of You in the unseen and the seen (in private and in public), for the word of truth in contentment and in anger, and for moderation in wealth and in poverty. I ask You for contentment with Your decree after it comes, and for the coolness and comfort of life after death. I ask You for longing to meet You, without any harmful affliction or misleading trial. O Allah, adorn me with the adornment of faith, and make me one of the guides who are rightly guided)."
