Al-Adab Al-Mufrad — Hadith #47141

Al-Salt ibn Muhammad narrated to us, he said: Mahdi ibn Maymun narrated to us, on the authority of Al-Jariri, on the authority of Jabr ibn Habib, on the authority of Umm Kulthum, daughter of Abu Bakr, On the authority of Aisha, may God be pleased with her, she said: The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered upon me while I was praying, and he had a need, so I was late for him. He said: O Aisha, you must recite the phrases of supplication and its summaries. When I left, I said: O Messenger of God, what are the phrases of supplication and its summaries? He said: Say: Oh God, I ask you for all goodness, both now and later, what I know of and what I do not know. And I seek refuge in You from evil. All of it, both now and later, what I knew of it and what I did not know. And I ask you for Paradise and whatever word or deed brings me closer to it, and I seek refuge in You from Hell and whatever brings it close to it in terms of words or deeds. And I ask you about what Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked you about, and I seek refuge in you from what you seek refuge from. Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, and whatever decree you have decreed for me, make its outcome righteousness.
