It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Keep your need in mind and perform ablution thoroughly and properly, and pray as much as you are able. Then praise and glorify your Lord, then make this supplication: O Allah! You have power over everything, I have no power; You have knowledge, I have no knowledge, and You are the Knower of the unseen. If You know that there is goodness for me in this matter in terms of my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then decree it for me; and if there is goodness for me in another matter in terms of my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then decree that for me.
