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 female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is inevitable. Your justice in my regard is fair. I ask You by every name You have named Yourself with, or revealed it to any of Your creation, or sent it down in Your Book, or You have kept it to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a remover of my sadness and a dispeller of my anxieties.

Source & Authentication
The Hadith recounts that once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the Mosque. A man was sitting inside it by himself. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: 'O so-and-so, why are you sitting by yourself?' He said: 'O Allah's Messenger, a spider has bitten me.' He said: 'If you had said when evening came: A'udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created), it would not have harmed you.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) addressed them and said: 'Whoever amongst you wakes up in the evening and says: Allahumma inni asbahtu ush-hiduka wa ush-hidu hamalata 'arshika wa mala'ikatika wa jami'a khalqika, annaka antallahu, la ilaha illa anta, wahdak, la sharika lak, wa anna Muhammadan 'abduka wa rasuluk, fa'inna man qalaha 'amin yawmihi marrah aw laylatihi marrah, kana 'itqu minannar. Wa in qadru an yadhba'a aw yudghu li-amrihi, kana 'ala mawtihi ma yushfiq, fa idha idxil al-layla, qul: Allahumma inni as'aluka fi layli hadha min khayri hadhihi ar-rih, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma fiha, wa as'aluka khayra ma fiha, wa khayra ma ba'daha. Wa a'udhu bika min sharri hadha ar-rih, wa min sharri ma fi ma ba'daha. Wa idha asbahta, fa'qul mithla dhalik. (O Allah, I have entered upon the morning, I bear witness to You, and to the bearers of Your Throne, and Your angels, and all Your creation, that You are Allah, there is no god but You, You alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger, then indeed whoever says this in the morning once or in the evening once, he will be freed from the Fire. And if he dies on that day or on that night, he will enter Paradise.) Then he told them about the supplication of the distressed: Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibn 'abdik, ibn amatik, nasiyati biyadik, madin fiyya hukmuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw anzaltahu fi kitibik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm al-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'al al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.

A man asked: 'O Allah's Messenger, should we not learn these words?' He said: 'Yes, you should learn them and teach them to those who have been taught the Book (Qur'an) and those who are present with you.'
