Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah! I ask You for guidance and steadfastness." (These are the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), or perhaps Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says:) "Keep in mind the guidance of the road along with guidance, and keep in mind the straightness of the arrow along with steadfastness." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade me from using Qassi and Maythara, and from wearing a ring on the index finger and the middle finger.
