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, indeed I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your decree concerning me is inevitable. Your justice in my case is absolute. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself by, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept exclusively to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness, and the dispeller of my anxiety.
Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibnu 'abdik, ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya hukkumuk, 'adlun fiyya qada'uk, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa lak, sammayta bihi nafsak, aw anzaltahu fi kitābik, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqik, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilm al-ghaybi 'indak, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jila'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.

Source & Authentication
Ahmad narrated in his Musnad from Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 'No person suffered any anxiety or grief, and then said: O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your slave woman, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is ever effective, and Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself by, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or which You have kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which is with You, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the healer of my anxiety.' So it was said to him: 'Shall we not learn these words?' He said: 'Yes, it is necessary for everyone who hears them to learn them.'
