Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites this supplication: «اللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ إِنِّي أَعْهَدُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي تُقَرِّبْنِي مِنْ الشَّرِّ وَتُبَاعِدْنِي مِنْ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنِّي لَا أَثِقُ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا تُوَفِّينِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ» 'O Allah! O Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the unseen and the seen! I make a covenant with You in this worldly life that I bear witness there is no deity except You, You are alone, You have no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Your servant and Messenger. If You leave me to myself, then You have brought me close to evil and far from good. I rely only on Your mercy, so keep this covenant with You and fulfill it for me on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You do not break Your promise.' Then Allah Almighty will say to His angels on the Day of Resurrection: 'My servant has made a covenant with Me, so fulfill it.' Thus, he will be admitted into Paradise." Suhail says: I told Qasim bin Abdur Rahman that 'Awn narrated this hadith to me, so he said: In our house, every girl recites this supplication in her seclusion."
