It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Teach me some words that I may recite." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, wallahu akbaru kabira, wal-hamdu lillahi kathira, subhanallahi rabbil-'alamin, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil-'azizil-hakim' (There is none worthy of worship except Allah, alone, without partner; Allah is the Greatest, most great; abundant praise is for Allah; glorified is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds; there is no power to avoid sin and no strength to do good except through Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise)." He said: "This is for my Lord; what is for me?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say: 'Allahumma-ghfir li warhamni, wahdini, wa 'afini, warzuqni' (O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, grant me well-being and provide for me)."
