`Abdullah narrated that: the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to supplicate:“O Allah, indeed, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and sufficiency (Allāhumma innī as’alukal-hudā wat-tuqā, wal-`afāfa wal-ghinā).”

Abu Ad-Darda’ narrated that: the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“It used to be from the supplication of Dawud that he would say: ‘O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for the action that will cause me to attain Your love, O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water (Allāhumma innī as’aluka ḥubbaka wa ḥubba man yuḥibbuka wal-`amalalladhī yuballighunī ḥubbak. Allāhummaj`al ḥubbaka aḥabba ilaiyya min nafsī, wa ahlī wa minal-mā’il-bārid) He said:“And when the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) would mention Dawud, he would narrate about him, saying:“He was the best in worship out of all men.”
