'Amr ibn al-Harith said, "My mother took me to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and stroked my head and prayed for
provision to be given to me."

bless him with the blessing of those who are pious. They are neither unjust
nor corrupt. They stand at night in prayer and fast in the day."

(and that day he was at the zawiyya) wanting for you to make supplication
to Allah for them." He said, "O Allah, forgive them and show mercy to them.
Give them good in this world and good in the Next World and protect them
from the punishment of the Fire." They asked him to say more and he said
repeated the same thing. He said, "If you are given this, you have been
given the good of this world and the Next."
Narrated It is related that 'Abdullah used to use these supplications a
lot:
'Our Lord, make peace between us and guide us on the path of Islam.
Save us from the darkness (and bring us) to the light. Remove acts of deviance
from us, both open and hidden. Bless us in our ears, our eyes, our hearts,
our wives and our children. Turn to us. You are the Ever-Turning back (to his slaves), Most
Merciful. Make us thankful for Your blessing and make us among those who
give praise for it and proclaim it. Perfect it for us."
