Ibrahim narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When any one of you intends to fulfill a need, he should say these words: O Allah! I seek goodness from You through Your knowledge, and I seek power from You through Your power, and I ask You for Your great bounty. Surely, You have power and I do not have power, and You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah! If this matter which I intend to do is better for me in my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then make it easy for me and bless it for me. And if any other matter is better than this, then ordain that goodness for me wherever it may be. Then make me pleased with the decision that You have made.
