Allāhumma innī as’aluka mina-l-khayri kullihi ‘ājilihi wa ājilih, mā ‘alimtu minhu wa mā lam a‘lam, wa a‘ūdhu bika mina-sh-sharri kullihi ‘ājilihi wa ājilih, mā ‘alimtu minhu wa mā lam a‘lam, Allāhumma innī as’aluka-l-Jannata wa mā qarraba ilayhā min qawlin aw ‘amal, wa a‘ūdhu bika mina-n-Nāri wa mā qarraba ilayhā min qawlin aw ‘amal.

We relate in the Musnad of Imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, as well as from the Sunan of Ibn Mājah, that ‘Ā’ishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said to her: “Say: ‘O Allah, I ask of You all good, that which is immediate and that which is in the future, that which I know and that which I do not know. And I seek refuge with You from all evil, that which is immediate and that which is in the future, that which I know and that which I do not know. I ask You for Paradise and words and deeds which bring one close to it. And I seek refuge with You from Hell and words and deeds which bring one close to it. I ask You for the good that Your slave and Messenger Muḥammad asked for, and I seek refuge with You from the evil that Your slave and Messenger Muḥammad sought refuge from. And I ask You, in [all] that You have decreed for me, to make its outcome rightly guided.’” ^[53].Al-Ḥakim states that this hadith is ṣaḥīḥ.
