Narrated Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to make this supplication:
'O Allah, I ask You for pardon and good health in this world and the Next. O Allah, I ask You for good health
in my deen and my family. Veil my faults and assuage my terror. Guard me before me, behind me, on my right and my left and above me. I seek refuge with You from unexpected destruction from beneath me.'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, rose to pray in the middle of the night,
he would say, 'O Allah, Yours is the praise. You are the light of the heavens
and the earth and whoever is in them. Yours is the praise. You are the
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. You are the Truth
and Your promise is true and the meeting with You is true. The Garden is
true and the Fire is true and the Hour is true. O Allah, I have surrendered
to You and I have believed in You. I have trusted in You and I repent to
You. I argue by You and I have come to You for judgement. Forgive me my
past and future wrong actions, what I conceal and what I show. You are
My God. There is no god but You."
Rifa'a az-Zurqi said, "In the Battle of Uhud when the idolaters
retreated, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Form straight ranks so that I can praise my Almighty Lord.' They
formed in ranks behind him. He said, 'O Allah, all praise is due to You.
O Allah, none can contract what You expand nor bring near what you put
far away. None can put far away what You bring near. None can give what
You withhold nor withhold what You give. O Allah, expand to us some of
Your blessings, mercy and favour and give us provision! O Allah, I ask
You for the abiding blessing which is neither changed nor removed. O Allah,
I ask You for blessing on the Day of Utter Poverty and security on the
Day of Fear. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what You
give us. O Allah, make us love belief and adorn our hearts with it. Make
us hate disbelief, deviance and rebellion. Place us among the rightly-guided.
O Allah, make us die Muslims and make us live as Muslims and join us to
the rightly, acting, who are neither disappointed nor afflicted. O Allah,
fight the unbelievers who bar your path and who deny Your Messengers. Place
You abasement and punishment over them. O Allah, fight the unbelievers
who were given the Book, O Lord of Truth!'"
'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas said, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, prayed the night prayer, and finished his prayer,
glorifying Allah as he deserves, he said at the end of it, 'O Allah, give
me a light in my heart and give me a light in my hearing and give me a
light in my sight. Give me a light on my right and a light on my left and
give me a light in front of me and a light behind me and increase me in
light. Increase me in light, and increase me in light.'"
