O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is effective. Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or that You have kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen, that You make the Quran the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.

Source & Authentication
‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: The one who is afflicted with grief but tells people about it is not considered patient, and the one who hides it is not considered patient. So what do you say? He said: The one who says: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is effective. Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or that You have kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen, that You make the Quran the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.' Then Allah will remove his grief and replace his sadness with joy. It was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, should we learn these words? He said: Yes, it is incumbent upon everyone who hears them to learn them. (Ahmad 1765)
