Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 3893 — he asked Sayyiduna Anas which supplication
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ قَتَادَةُ أَنَسًا : أَيُّ دَعْوَةٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَكْثَرَ ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ أَكْثَرُ دَعْوَةٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً ، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدَعْوَةٍ دَعَا بِهَا ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدُعَاءٍ دَعَا بِهَا .
It is narrated from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) which supplication the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make most often. He replied that the supplication the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made most was this: 'Allahumma atina fi al-dunya hasanatan wa fi al-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhab al-nar' (O Allah, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire). And it was also the practice of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) himself that whenever he wanted to make one particular supplication he would make this one, and whenever he wanted to make a comprehensive supplication he would be sure to include this supplication in it.
