Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 1301

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"'Allahumma bi-'ilmikal-ghayba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi ahyini ma 'alimtal-hayata khayran li, wa tawaffani idha 'alimtal-wafata khayran li. Allahumma wa as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaybi wash-shahadah, wa as'aluka kalimatal-ikhlasi fir-rida wal-ghadab, wa as'alukal-qasda fil-faqri wal-ghina, wa as'aluka na'iman la yanfad, wa as'aluka qurrata 'aynin la tanqati', wa as'alukar-rida bil-qada', wa as'aluka bardal-'ayshi ba'dal-mawt, wa as'aluka ladhdhatan-nazari ila wajhik, wash-shawqa ila liqa'ik, fi ghayri darra'a mudirrah, wa la fitnatin mudillah. Allahumma zayyinna bi-zinatil-iman, waj'alna hudatan muhtadin' (O Allah! By Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, I ask You to keep me alive as long as, according to Your knowledge, life is better for me, and to give me death when death is better for me. O Allah! I ask You for fear of You in every state, hidden and open; I ask You for the word of truth and sincerity in both states, contentment and anger; I ask You for moderation in both states, poverty and wealth; I ask You for a blessing that never ends; I ask You for a coolness of the eyes that is never cut off; I ask You for contentment with Your decrees; I ask You for a tranquil life after death; and I ask You for the delight of looking at Your Face and for longing to meet You, without any harmful affliction and without any misleading trial. O Allah! Adorn us with the adornment of faith, and make us rightly guided and a means of guidance for others.)"
