The Messenger of Allah wishes to give you words with which you may ask the Most Merciful, turn to Him in longing, and supplicate by them day and night. Say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka sihhatan fi iman, wa imanan fi husni khuluq, wa najahan yatba'uhu falah, wa rahmatan minka wa 'afiyah, wa maghfiratan minka wa ridwana' (O Allah, I ask You for health and well-being along with faith, for complete faith along with good character, for success followed by prosperity, and for mercy, well-being, forgiveness and Your good pleasure from You)."

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and I rushed to him, but Abu Bakr got there before me. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Among my supplications that I never leave is this: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka na'iman la yabid, wa qurrata 'aynin la tanfad, wa murafaqatan-nabiyyi (peace and blessings be upon him) fi a'la jannatil-khuld' (O Allah, I ask You for a blessing that never ends, for a coolness of the eyes that never ceases, and I seek the companionship of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the highest ranks of the Garden of Eternity).

Allahumma naqqi qalbi minal-khataya kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danas. Allahumma ba''id bayni wa bayna khati'ati kama ba''adta baynal-mashriqi wal-maghrib' (O Allah, You are the First, there is nothing before You, and You are the Last, there is nothing after You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every creature whose forelock is in Your grip. I seek refuge in You from sin, laziness, the punishment of the grave, the trial of wealth and the trial of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from sinful deeds and from being burdened by debt. O Allah, cleanse my heart of errors as You cleanse a white garment of dirt. O Allah, put a distance between me and my errors like the distance You have placed between the East and the West).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day he led his companions in a short prayer. It was said to him: O Abu al-Yaqzan! You made the prayer very light! He said: There is no harm to me in that; I made supplications in it that I had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). A man (Abu Ata) followed him and asked him about that supplication, and he told him: 'Allahumma bi'ilmikal-ghayb, wa qudratika 'alal-khalq, ahyini ma 'alimtal-hayata khayran li, wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khayran li. Allahumma wa as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaybi wash-shahadah, wa as'aluka kalimatal-hukmi fil-ghadabi war-rida, wa as'alukal-qasda fil-ghina wal-faqr, wa as'aluka na'iman la yabid, wa as'aluka qurrata 'aynin la tanfadu wa la tanqati', wa as'alukar-rida ba'dal-qada', wa as'aluka bardal-'ayshi ba'dal-mawt, wa as'aluka ladhdhatan-nazari ila wajhik, wa as'alukash-shawqa ila liqa'ika fi ghayri darra'a mudirrah, wa la fitnatin mudillah. Allahumma zayyinna bi-zinatil-iman, waj'alna hudatan muhtadin' (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die when death is better for me. O Allah, I ask You for fear of You in private and in public; I ask You for the ability to speak the word of truth in anger and in contentment; I ask You for moderation in wealth and in poverty; I seek a blessing that never ends and a coolness of the eyes that never ceases; and I ask You for contentment after Your decree, a tranquil life after death, the delight of looking at Your Face and longing to meet You, without any harmful affliction or misleading trial. O Allah, adorn us with the adornment of faith, and make us guides who are rightly guided). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Allahumma inni as'aluka min kulli khayrin khaza'inuhu biyadik, wa a'udhu bika min kulli sharrin khaza'inuhu biyadik' (O Allah, protect me with Islam while standing, while sitting and while sleeping, and do not give any envious enemy the chance to rejoice over me. O Allah, I ask You for every good whose treasures are in Your Hand, and I seek refuge in You from every evil whose treasures are in Your Hand).

And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: 'Allahumma ya muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbi 'ala dinik' (O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion).
