اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ
O Allah, there is no one who can withhold what You give, and no one can give what You withhold, and no wealth can benefit the wealthy person from You (i.e., from Your punishment).
Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayt, wa la mu'tiya lima mana't, wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd.

Virtues & Benefits

Source & Authentication
Narrated Abu Huraira: (The practice of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was to say Takbir on completion of the prayer, and then say: 'Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayt, wa la mu'tiya lima mana't, wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd.' And (the practice of) the Muslims was to do that. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) completed the prayer, he would say Takbir and then say: 'Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayt, wa la mu'tiya lima mana't, wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd.'
