Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this supplication:“ «اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ وَالْعَيْلَةِ، وَالذِّلَّةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفُسُوقِ وَالشِّقَاقِ وَالنِّفَاقِ، وَالسُّمْعَةِ وَالرِّيَاءِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الصَّمَمِ وَالْبَكَمِ، وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْبَرَصِ، وَالْجُذَامِ وَسَيِّئِ الْأَسْقَامِ» ”“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from hardness of the heart, heedlessness, poverty, humiliation, and destitution, and I seek refuge in You from immorality, discord, hypocrisy, notoriety, and showing off, and I seek refuge in You from becoming deaf or mute, and from madness, leucoderma, leprosy, and evil diseases.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not teach you the words which Musa (peace be upon him) said while crossing the sea with the Children of Israel?" We said: "Why not, O Messenger of Allah! Please do tell us." He (peace be upon him) said: "Say: ' «اللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَىٰ وَأَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ» ' 'O Allah! All praise is for You, and to You alone is the complaint, and from You alone help is sought, and there is no power to turn away from sins nor strength to do good except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.'" Abdullah says: Since I heard these words, I have never abandoned them. Shafeeq says: Since I heard them from Abdullah, I have never abandoned them. A'mash says: Since I heard them from Shafeeq, I have never abandoned them. Then a man came to me in a dream and said: Add these words to this supplication: ' «وَنَسْتَعِينُكَ عَلَىٰ فَسَادٍ فِينَا وَنَسْأَلُكَ صَلَاحَ أَمْرِنَا كُلِّهِ» ' 'And we seek Your help in our shortcomings and seek rectification in all our affairs.'"

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you ask Allah Almighty for something you need and wish that it be accepted, then supplicate as follows:“ «لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَكِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْحَلِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، ﴿كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ بَلَاغٌ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾، ﴿كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَاهَا﴾، اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ، وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ، وَالسَّلَامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ، اللّٰهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْبًا إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ، وَلَا هَمًّا إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ، وَلَا دَيْنًا إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهُ، وَلَا حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ» ”

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Shall I not teach you such words that when you recite them, your sins will be forgiven: ' «لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ» '"

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Take your shield." We said: O Messenger of Allah! Has an enemy come? He (peace be upon him) said: "Take your shield from Hell. Recite these words: ' «سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ» '. These words will be saviors from the front and the back on the Day of Resurrection, and they will be good, lasting words."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were in the mosque with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the sun rose, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out, and I also went out behind him. He kept walking until we reached the house of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). We entered, and she was lying down asleep. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fatimah! Why are you sleeping at this time?" She said: "I have had a fever since last night." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is that supplication which I taught you?" She said: "I forgot." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say like this: ' «يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَىٰ نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَلَا إِلَىٰ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ» '"
