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 command over me is ever effective. Your justice over me is inevitable. I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have bestowed upon Your creation, or You have revealed in Your Book, or You have taught to any of Your creation, or You have kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sorrow and a remover of my anxiety.

Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'There is no servant who says, when a thing happens to him: Allahu Akbar 'ala ma asbaha bi min ni'matin wa 'afwatin wa sitrin 'ala ma asbaha bi, 'Allah is the Greatest, for the blessing and deliverance and protection He has bestowed upon me this morning' but the (angels) raise their voices and say: 'What a good servant You have! Allah has forgiven him.' And when he says in the evening: 'Allah is the Greatest, for the blessing and deliverance and protection He has bestowed upon me this evening,' they (the angels) raise their voices and say: 'What a good servant You have! Allah has forgiven him.' And when he says: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is ever effective. Your justice over me is inevitable. I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have bestowed upon Your creation, or You have revealed in Your Book, or You have taught to any of Your creation, or You have kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my sorrow and a remover of my anxiety,' Allah, the Exalted, would remove from him anxiety and grief and would replace them with (contentment or joy).'
