Sahih HadithSahih Muslim 899

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ثَبَاتَ الْقَلْبِ عَلَى أَمْرِكَ.

O Allah, I ask You for its goodness, the goodness of what is in it, and the goodness of what it has been sent with. I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of what is in it, and the evil of what it has been sent with. O Allah, I ask You for the steadfastness of the heart upon Your command.

Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha, wa khayra ma fiha, wa khayra ma ursilat bihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha, wa sharri ma fiha, wa sharri ma ursilat bihi. Allahumma inni as'aluka thabat al-qalbi 'ala amrik.
