أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَائِ عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُکَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَی الرُّشْدِ وَأَسْأَلُکَ شُکْرَ نِعْمَتِکَ وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِکَ وَأَسْأَلُکَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا وَأَسْأَلُکَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُکَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1309
It was narrated from Shaddad bin Aws that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to say in his prayer: (Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all my affairs and determination in following the right path I ask You to make me thankful for Your blessings and to make me worship You properly. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the best of what You know and I seek refuge in You from the worst of what You know and I seek Your forgiveness for what You know.)” (Hasan)
