Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say, when he performed the morning prayer: Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan. (O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds). — Sunan Ibn Majah 925. This narration, although found in Ibn Majah, is considered authentic and its meaning is well-supported by the general teachings and practices of the Prophet ﷺ concerning morning supplications and seeking good in all aspects of life.
