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 الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your decree over me is inevitable, and Your judgment over me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or taught to anyone of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the delight of my heart, and the light of my breast, and a banisher of my sadness and a reliever of my anxiety.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ heard a man supplicating: 'O Allah, I ask You by virtue of my asking You, and I ask You by virtue of my desire for Your desire, seeking that which is with You. Then he said: The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'You have asked Allah using His Most Great Name, which if He is asked by it, He gives, and if He is asked to grant (something) by it, He grants.' Then he mentioned a man who was walking with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he was afflicted with pain. The man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my pain has increased.' The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Say: O Allah, by the truth of the Throne of Mercy, and by Your well-trodden path, and by Your Names, I ask You to grant me the relief from my pain.' Then he said: 'Then he said: Then the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Then he said to him: Say: O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your decree over me is inevitable, and Your judgment over me is just.

The man went and recited these words and Allah removed his affliction. Then he came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and informed him. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'By Allah, this is not permissible for anyone to recite and ask Allah by it except that He will accept it from him.'
