Authentic Supplication Number 104.

‘Ammaru bin Yasirin  prayed a prayer (salat); however, it was short, so some of the people said to him: You made the salat very light – or very brief – He said: Oh! but that’s on me. You see I invoked Allah in my salat with a few invocations which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah , then when he got up to leave a man from among them followed him and asked him what the invocation was? So he said: ‘Allahumma bi`ilmikal-ghayba wa qudratika `alal-khalqi, ‘ahyinee ma `alimtal-hayata khayran lee, wa tawaffanee ‘itha `alimtal-wafata khayran lee, ‘allahumma ‘innee ‘as’aluka khashyataka fil-ghaybi wash-shahadati, wa ‘as’aluka kalimatal-haqqi firridha wal-ghadhabi, wa ‘as’aluka ‘al-qasda fil faqri wal ghina, wa ‘as’aluka na`eeman la yanfadu, wa ‘as’aluka qurrata `eynin la tanqati`u, wa ‘as’aluka arridha ba`dal qada’i, wa ‘as’aluka bardal `ayshi ba`dal mawti, wa ‘as’aluka lath-thatan-nathari ‘ila wajhika, wash-shawqa ‘ila liqa’ika fee ghayri dhrra’a mudhirratin, wa la fitnatin mudhillatin, ‘allahumma zayyinna bizeenatil-‘eemani waj`alna hudãtan mahtadeena (122).
