Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This too is an extremely comprehensive supplication.
In it, guidance—that is, walking upon the path of truth and remaining steadfast upon it—
piety (taqwa) and God-consciousness, meaning protection and safeguarding from sins, evil deeds, and reprehensible acts,
chastity and purity, that is, refraining from inappropriate things,
and asking for independence and self-sufficiency from people,
are all requested.
And without these, a person cannot live a life of contentment and tranquility.
