Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this at the very end between Tashahhud and Salam: "O Allah! Forgive me for what I have done before and what I will do later, what I have done secretly and what I have done openly, and for any excess, and for everything about which You have more knowledge than I do. O Allah, forgive me for all of that. Surely, You are the One Who brings forward and the One Who delays. There is no deity except You."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person finishes reciting the final Tashahhud, he should seek Allah's protection from four things: from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the Dajjal."

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to supplicate during prayer: "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from sin and debt." Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: A man said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! You frequently seek refuge from debt. (What is the wisdom behind this?)" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When a person is in debt, he speaks and lies, and when he makes a promise, he breaks it."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head from the last rak'ah of the morning prayer (i.e., after rising from bowing), he supplicated: "O Allah! Grant salvation to Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham, and 'Ayyash bin Abu Rabi'ah. O Allah! Send Your severity upon the tribe of Mudar and inflict upon them a famine like that during the time of Sayyiduna Yusuf."

Zirr bin Hubaish narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing and performing prayer. When he had recited one hundred verses of Surah An-Nisa, he began to supplicate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ask, you will be given. He said this three times. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) made this supplication: "O Allah! I ask You for such faith that does not turn back, and for such a blessing that does not end, and for companionship with Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in the highest rank of Jannat al-Khuld."

Ata bin Sa’ib narrates from his father that we were present in the mosque. In the meantime, Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) came in. He performed the prayer and performed it briefly. Then, as he passed by us, it was said to him: O Abu Yaqzan, you performed a brief prayer. He asked: The prayer you saw, was it brief? We replied: Yes. He said: I even recited in it the supplication which I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite. Then he left. One of those present followed him. The narrator named Ata stated that my father followed him but did not like to ask him, so I followed him. He asked him about this supplication. He returned and informed the people about this supplication: (Its words were as follows) "O Allah! I ask You by the means of Your knowledge of the unseen and by Your power over Your creation, to keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and to give me death when death is better for me. O Allah! I ask You for fear of You in the unseen and the seen, and I ask You for the word of truth in anger and in pleasure, and I ask You for moderation in poverty and in wealth. I ask You for a blessing that will never end, and for the coolness of my eyes that will never cease. I ask You for contentment with Your decree, and I ask You for the coolness of life after death (i.e., a good life after death), and I ask You for the pleasure of looking at Your Face, and I ask You for the longing to meet You. (All of this) without any harm and without any misleading trial. O Allah! Adorn us with the beauty of faith and make us guides and guided."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would finish reciting in the Fajr prayer, he would say the takbir (and go into bowing), then he would raise his head and recite «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ» , then while standing he would supplicate: "O Allah! Grant deliverance to Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham, Ayyash bin Abu Rabi’ah, and the weak among the believers. O Allah! Send Your severity upon the tribe of Mudar and inflict upon them a famine like that in the time of Yusuf (Joseph), peace be upon him. O Allah! Curse the tribes of Lihyan, Za’l, Dhakwan, and ‘Usayyah, for they have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger." The narrator says: Then this narration reached us, when this verse was revealed, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) abandoned this practice: "You have nothing to do with this matter, whether Allah turns to them in mercy or punishes them; surely, they are wrongdoers."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Qunoot Nazilah after bowing (ruku) for a month, in which he supplicated against some Arab tribes, Ra'l and Dhakwan. He said: The people of the tribe of 'Usayyah have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. The narrator named Abu Majliz is Lahiq bin Humaid.

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite this in prayer: "O Allah! I ask You for steadfastness in faith, determination in guidance, gratitude for Your blessings, and excellence in worshipping You. I ask You for a sound heart, and I ask You for the good of that which is in Your knowledge, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of that which is in Your knowledge, and I seek Your forgiveness for whatever (sins or shortcomings) are in Your knowledge."

Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said something in a low voice which we could not understand. He asked: Did you understand what I said? We replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I mentioned a prophet to whom some armies from his own people were given, so he asked: Who can face them? Then Allah Almighty revealed to him: Choose one third of your people, or I will impose upon them an enemy from others, or I will impose hunger or death upon them. That prophet consulted his people about this. They said: O Prophet of Allah! We leave this matter to you. You choose for us. So he stood in the court of Allah Almighty to pray. Whenever those people turned to Allah Almighty, they would turn to prayer. That prophet performed as much prayer as Allah willed, then he said: O my Lord, as for the imposition of an enemy from another people or hunger, do not impose that upon them, but if death occurs, then impose death upon them for three days. So death was imposed upon them for three days, and seventy thousand of them died. As for the whispering you saw from me, in it I prayed: O Allah! I fight with Your help and attack with Your help. Nothing can happen without the help of Allah Almighty. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away in the month of Rajab in the year 38 AH during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), while Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila was born two years after the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had passed.
