اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.

I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or kept in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the delight of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sadness, and a reliever of my worries.

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'There is no one who is afflicted by distress and grief, and then says: Allahumma inni 'abdak, ibnu 'abdik, ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukmuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsak, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw anzaltahu fi kitabik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaibi 'indak, an taj'al al-Qur'ana rabī'a qalbī, wa nūra sadri, wa jala'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi – except that Allah will remove his distress and grief, and replace his sorrow with joy.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these words?' He replied: 'Yes, indeed! It is incumbent upon everyone who hears them after me to learn them.'
