Narrated Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When any one of you recites Tashahhud, let him seek refuge in Allah from four things and say: 'O Allah, verily I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death.' Then, when any one of you finishes (saying this), let him ask for whatever he wishes." Sahih Muslim 1300. Also, the Prophet ﷺ said when leaving the Masjid: "Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik." (O Allah, I ask of Your bounty). Sahih Muslim 1300, referring to a different instance but the same principle of seeking Allah's bounty.
