‘Amr ibn Shu’ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah, and the best words I and the Prophets before me have said are:
Lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.”
Meaning:
“There is no god worthy of worship except Allah, alone without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable.”
