O Allah, I ask You from Your Grace.

When to Read
This dua is specifically recited when leaving the Masjid. While it's a general supplication for Allah's bounty, it can be particularly poignant when seeking success in worldly affairs, such as business, after having fulfilled your spiritual obligations by attending salah in the mosque. It's a beautiful way to transition from worship to engaging with the world, carrying Allah's blessings with you.
How to Read
Recite this dua immediately after exiting the Masjid. It is generally recited once, facing the direction you are heading. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would also recite other duas upon leaving, often focusing on seeking protection and guidance.
Virtues & Benefits
This simple yet profound dua embodies the essence of seeking provision and success directly from Allah. It acknowledges that all blessings and success originate from Him. By asking for Allah's 'fadl' (grace, bounty, favor), we are asking for more than just what we are due; we are asking for His special kindness and abundance, which is essential for any endeavor, including business, to flourish.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: When Allah's Messenger (๏ทบ) set out on an expedition, he would recite: 'O Allah, You are my Companion on the road and my Khalifa (successor) in the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the hardships of the journey, from the sorrowful sight and from finding my family in any misfortune. O Allah, make my absence from my home a thing of absence which is not unpleasant.' When he returned, he would say: 'We are those who return without having any desire to leave, and our Lord accepts our good deeds. So forgive us our shortcomings.' In another narration: Abu Hurairah said: Allah's Messenger (๏ทบ) said: 'When any one of you finishes his prayer in my mosque, let him say, 'Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik (O Allah, I ask You from Your Grace)' and when he departs from me, let him depart by the door by which he entered.' (Sahih Muslim 1300)
