اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فَهْمَ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَحِفْظَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ، وَإِلْهَامَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِسَانِي عَامِرًا بِذِكْرِكَ، وَقَلْبِي بِخَشْيَتِكَ، وَأَسْرَارِي بِطَاعَتِكَ، إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

O Allah, grant me the understanding of the Prophets, the memory of the Messengers, and the inspiration of the close Angels. O Allah, make my tongue abundant with Your remembrance, my heart with Your awe, and my secrets with Your obedience. Indeed, You have power over all things.

Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught me many words to say. He taught me to say: 'O Allah, grant me the understanding of the Prophets, the memory of the Messengers, and the inspiration of the close Angels.
