اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، 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 decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have assumed to Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any one of Your creation, or which You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my grief, and a reliever of my anxiety.

Source & Authentication
It was narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'No one who has an atom's weight of pride in his heart will enter Paradise.' Someone said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what if a man likes his clothes to look good and his shoes to look good?' He said: 'Allah does not like ugliness.' Then he said: 'Indeed, Allah loves beauty.' He then said: 'What is pride?' He said: 'To reject the truth and to look down on the people.' Then he said: 'Shall I not tell you of the one who rejects the truth and looks down on people?' They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'It is the man who hears a hadith from me and memorizes it and conveys it to the one who did not hear it. It may be that the one who hears it is more knowledgeable than him. And he will look down on others.' Then he said: 'What is the world to me and you? This is like a rider who rested in the shade of a tree, then left it.' He then said: 'I ask You by every name belonging to You, which You have assumed to Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any one of Your creation, or which You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a banisher of my grief, and a reliever of my anxiety.' (Hasan).
