'Ali reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Say, "O Allah, direct me to the right path and make me adhere to the straight path," and when you make a mention of right guidance, keep in mind the right path and when you consider of the straight (path), keep in mind the straightness of the arrow.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Asim bin Kulaib with the same chain of transmitters that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to me: Say: "O Allah, I beg of Thee righteousness and adhering to the straight path."
