Sahih HadithSunan An-Nasa'i 1303

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الأَمْرِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ عَزِيمَةَ الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters, and I ask You for the resolve of right guidance. I ask You to make me thankful for Your favours and excellent in Your worship. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, and I ask You of the good that You know. I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.

Allahumma inni as'alukath-thabata fil-amri, wa as'aluka 'azeematar-rushdi, wa as'aluka shukra ni'matika, wa husna 'ibadatika, wa as'aluka qalban saleeman, wa lisaanan saadiqan, wa a'udhu bika min sharri ma ta'lamu, wa as'aluka min khairi ma ta'lamu, wa astaghfiruka mimma ta'lamu, innaka anta 'allamul-ghuyoobi.
