Narrated Abu Hurayra reported, "The Messenger of , may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to use this supplication:
'O Allah, make my deen
correct - it is the support of my affairs. Make my deen correct -
it contains my livelihood. Make death a mercy for me from every evil.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The firmest supplication is to say, 'O Allah, you
are my Lord and I am Your slave. I have wronged myself and I admit my wrong
action. Only You forgive wrong actions, Lord, forgive me.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُمَيٌّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأعداء.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to seek refuge "from the trouble of affliction, meeting
with wretchedness, an evil decree, and the gloating of enemies."
Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan said on the minbar, "None can withhold
what You give nor give what Allah withholds. The effort of a person who
makes an effort does not benefit him. When Allah desires good for a person,
He gives him understanding in the deen." He added, "I heard these words
from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
