496/637 [عن أنس قال: ](3) فأتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رجل فقال: يا رسول الله! أي الدعاء أفضل؟ قال: "سل الله العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة". ثم أتاه الغد. فقال: يا نبي الله! أي الدعاء أفضل؟ قال: "سل العفو والعافية في الدنيا والآخرة، فإذا أعطيت العافية في الدنيا والآخرة، فقد أفلحت".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked: O Messenger of Allah! Which supplication is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Ask Allah for pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. Then that man came the next day and submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Which supplication is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Ask Allah for pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. When you are granted well-being in this world and the Hereafter, you have attained success.
