Ibn Qaqa’ narrates from a man who used to keep watch over the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and would observe him closely. He says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to supplicate:“O Allah! Forgive my sin, expand my being for me, and bless for me what You have provided me.”The next day, he again kept watch over the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Prophet recited the same supplication again.

I seek Your forgiveness … over all things You have power." (O Allah!

Surely, You are the One Who brings forward and You are the One Who delays, and You have power over all things.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: "O my Lord! Help me and do not help against me, ... ... and remove malice from my heart." (O my Lord! Help me, do not help against me, support me, do not support against me, plan for me, do not plan against me, guide me, make guidance easy for me, help me against the one who transgresses against me. O my Lord! Make me one who is most grateful to You, who remembers You most, who fears You most, who obeys You most, who humbles himself before You, who weeps much before You, and who turns to You much. O my Lord! Accept my repentance, wash away my sin, accept my supplication, establish my proof, keep my tongue truthful, and remove malice and envy from my heart.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: "O Allah! I have submitted to You, I have believed in You, I have placed my trust in You, I have turned to You, I have argued by means of You. I seek refuge in Your might—there is no deity except You—from You leading me astray. You are the Ever-Living who does not die, while the jinn and mankind will die."

Do not disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abu Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: O Allah! Purify me with snow, hail, and cold water... O Allah! Cleanse my heart from errors as You cleanse a white garment from filth, and distance me from my sins as You have distanced the East from the West. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from a heart that does not fear, from a soul that is not satisfied, from a supplication that is not heard, and from knowledge that does not benefit. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from these four things. O Allah! I ask You for a pure life, a balanced death, and a return that is not disgraceful.

It is narrated from Abdul Aziz, he says: Imam Qatadah asked Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) which supplication the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make most frequently. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this supplication the most: "Allahumma rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhab an-nar" (O our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire). Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) himself, whether he made a short supplication or a long one, would always include this supplication.
