He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to use different supplications in his prayer 260 , supplicating with different ones at different<br />

times; he also endorsed other supplications, and "ordered the worshipper to select of them what he wishes." 261 <strong>The</strong>y are:<br />

1.<br />

2.<br />

"O Allaah! truly I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with you from the trials of the<br />

False Christ, and I seek refuge with You from the trials of living and dying. O Allaah! truly I seek refuge with You from sin 262<br />

and burden 263 ." 264<br />

3.<br />

"O Allaah! truly I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done, and from the evil of what I have not done 265<br />

[yet]. 266<br />

4.<br />

"O Allaah! call me to account with an easy reckoning." 267<br />

"O Allaah! [I ask you], by Your knowledge of the Unseen, and Your control over the creation: give me life as long as You<br />

know that life is best for me, and take me when death is best for me. O Allaah! I also ask of You fear of You, in secret and<br />

in open; I ask of You the word of Truth (in one narration: Wisdom) and justice in anger and in pleasure; I ask of You<br />

moderation in poverty and affluence; I ask of You joy which does not fade; I ask of You pleasure [which does not pass<br />

away, nor that] which ceases; I ask of You contentment with Your decree; I ask of You coolness of life after death; I ask of<br />

You the delight of looking towards Your Face; and [I ask of You] eagerness towards meeting You, not in harmful adversity,<br />

nor in misleading afflictions. O Allaah! adorn us with the decoration of eemaan, and make us those who guide and are<br />

guided. 268<br />

5. He taught Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq (radi Allaahu 'anhu) to say:<br />

"O Allaah! indeed I have wronged myself greatly, and none can forgive sins except You, so forgive me out of Your<br />

forgiveness, and have mercy on me. Truly, You are the Oft- Forgiving, the Most Merciful." 269<br />
