O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not feel humble, from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'ilmin la yanfa', wa min qalbin la yakhsha', wa min nafsin la tashba', wa min du'a'in la yustajab lahu.

Source & Authentication
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ used to seek refuge (in Allah) after the prayer saying: 'O Allah, forgive me my past and future sins, what I have concealed and what I have disclosed. O Allah, grant me abundance of sustenance. O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful to the exclusion of what You have made unlawful, and enrich me with Your bounty to the exclusion of all save You. O Allah, my affairs have become such that I need Your goodness, my affairs are concealed from me and I am in need of Your mercy. O Allah, (bestow upon me) guidance, piety, chastity and self-sufficiency. O Allah, grant me a heart that is humble and a tongue that is truthful, and a conviction in the Hereafter, and a sound creation, and bless me in what You have ordained, and do not make what is delayed a source of trial for me, and keep me away from the path of those who err. O Allah, O Knower of the unseen, O my Helper, in my worldly affairs and my religion, protect me, and make me forget all except You, and let me attain my desire in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, indeed I seek refuge in You from the affliction of the fire, and from the affliction of the grave, and from the affliction of wealth, and from the affliction of poverty, and from the affliction of disease, and from the affliction of the evil one, and from the trial of the Dajjal. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, and from a heart that does not feel humble, and from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.' (Sahih Muslim)
