Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "O Allah, make me content with the provision
You have given me and bless me in it and appoint good for me in every thing
which I do not have."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ.
'Amr ibn Shu'ayb reported from his father that his grandfather said, "I heard the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'O Allah, I seek
refuge with You from the trial of the Dajjal and I seek refuge with You
from the trial of the Fire.'"
Anas said, "The most frequent supplication of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was, 'O Allah, give us good in this
world and good in the Next World and protect us from the punishment of
the Fire.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَدَعَا بِدُعَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ لاَ نَحْفَظُهُ، فَقُلْنَا: دَعَوْتَ بِدُعَاءٍ لاَ نَحْفَظُهُ؟ فَقَالَ: سَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ يَجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ لَكُمْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ مِمَّا سَأَلَكَ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَنَسْتَعِيذُكَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَكَ مِنْهُ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَعَلَيْكَ الْبَلاَغُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
Narrated Abu Umama said, "We were with the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and he made many supplications which we did not remember.
We said, 'You make supplications which we do not remember.' He said, 'I
will inform you of something which will combine all of them for you:
"O
Allah, We ask You for what Your Prophet Muhammad asked You, and we seek
refuge with You from what Your Prophet Muhammad sought refuge. O Allah,
You are the One to whom one turns for help and You are the One who brings
it about. There is no power nor strength except by Allah," or words to
that effect.'"
