APPEALING FOR HELP THROUGH ALLAH'S MERCY

Anas Bin Mālik (رضي الله عنه) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his daughter Fatimah (رضى الله عنها):

“What prevents you from listening to what I command you – to say in the morning and evening:

يَاحَيُّ، يَا قَيُّومُ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أبَدا

Ya hayyu, ya qayyum, bi-rahmatika astaghith. Aslih li sha 'ni kullah, wala takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'aynin abada.

(O You who are ever Alive and in full charge, through Your mercy I appeal for help; rectify all of my affairs, and do not relinquish me to myself for as little as an eye's blink.)

[Recorded by an-Nasa'i, al-Bazzar, and others. Verified to be hasan by al-Albani (Sahihut-Targhib 661 and as-Sahihah 227)]

APPEALING FOR HELP THROUGH ALLAH'S MERCY | PART OF MORNING & EVENING ADHKAR

رَبِّ اَوۡزِعۡنِىۡۤ اَنۡ اَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَىَّ وَاَنۡ اَعۡمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرۡضٰٮهُ وَاَصۡلِحۡ لِىۡ فِىۡ ذُرِّيَّتِىۡ ؕۚ اِنِّىۡ تُبۡتُ اِلَيۡكَ وَاِنِّىۡ مِنَ الۡمُسۡلِمِيۡنَ

Rabbi awziʿni an ashkura niʿmatakal-lati anʿamta ʿalayya wa ʿala walidayya wa an aʿmala salihan tardah, wa aslih li fi dhuriyyati, inni tubtu ilayka wa inni minal-muslimin.

(My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims)

[Surah Al-Ahqaf (46): 15]

This is also the Dua of Sulayman (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) as mentioned by Allah in Surah An-Naml:

رَبِّ اَوۡزِعۡنِىۡۤ اَنۡ اَشۡكُرَ نِعۡمَتَكَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَىَّ وَاَنۡ اَعۡمَلَ صَالِحًـا تَرۡضٰٮهُ وَاَدۡخِلۡنِىۡ بِرَحۡمَتِكَ فِىۡ عِبَادِكَ الصّٰلِحِيۡنَ

Rabbi awziʿni an ashkura niʿmatakal-lati anʿamta ʿalayya wa ʿala walidayya wa an aʿmala salihan tardah, wa adhkilni bi-rahmatika fi ʿibadikas-salihin.

(My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants)

[Surah An-Naml (27): 19]

DUA FOR BEING GRATEFUL TO ALLAH, GUIDANCE TO GOOD DEEDS, RIGHTEOUS CHILDREN, SEEKING FORGIVENESS

Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) reported: One of the supplications of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was: 

اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نَسْألُكَ مُوجِباتِ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَزائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ، والسَّلامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إثمٍ، والغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ، والفَوْزَ بالجَنَّةِ، والنَّجاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ

Allahumma inna nas'aluka mujibati rahmatika, wa 'aza'ima maghfiratika, was-salamata min kulli ithmin, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, wal-fawza bil-Jannah, wannajata mina-naar 

O Allah! I beg You for that which incites Your Mercy and the means of Your forgiveness, safety from every sin, the benefit from every good deed, success in attaining Jannah and deliverance from Fire. 

[Collected by Al-Hakim 1/525, authenticated by Adh-Dhahabi and agreed upon by him, Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Da’awat 206. See Al-Adhkar by An-Nawawi P. 340, It was declared Hasan by the Muhaqqiq 'Abdul Qādir Al-Arna’ut, however regarded Daif (weak) by Shaykh al-Albani]

DUA SEEKING ALLAH'S MERCY, FORGIVENESS, SAFETY FROM SINS, ATTAINING JANNAH AND REFUGE FROM JAHANNAM.

DUA WHICH LEADS TO FORGIVENESS | DUA AFTER LAST TASHAHHUD AND BEFORE SALAM

Hanzalah bin 'Ali narrated that: Mihjan bin Al-Adra' (رضي الله عنه) narrated to him that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered the masjid and there was a man who had finished his prayer and he was reciting the tashahhud saying: 

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ بِأَنَّكَ الْوَاحِدُ الأَحَدُ، الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدُ، أَنْ تَغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِّيمُ

Allahumma inni as'aluka ya Allah! Bi-annakal-Wahidul-Ahadus-Samad(ul), alladhi lam yalid wa lam yoolad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, an taghfirali dhunubi, innaka antal-Ghafurur-Rahim 

O Allah, I ask of You, O Allah, as You are the One, the Only, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was He begotten, and there is None equal or comparable to Him, forgive me my sins, for You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said three times: “He has been forgiven”.

[Narrated by An-Nasa’i in his Sunan No. 1301 & in Al-Kubra, No. 7665, Abu Dawud, The Book of Prayer, chapter on What should be said after the Tashahhud No. 985 and Al-Albani graded it as authentic in Sahih Sunan Al-Nasa’i, 1/147]

Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "When a person suffices from a calamity and utters:

إنَّا للـهِ وإنَّا إلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيْبَتي، وأخْلِفْ لِي خَيْراً مِنْهَا

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. Allahumma-jurni fi musibati, wakhlif li khairan minha

(We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. O Allah! Compensate me in my affliction, recompense my loss and give me something better in exchange for it)

then Allah surely compensates him with reward and better substitute.”

Also narrated with the following words in Tirmidhi: “When one of you is afflicted with a calamity, he should say: 

إنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ عِنْدَكَ أَحْتَسِبُ مُصِيبَتِي فَآجِرْنِي فِيهَا وَأَبْدِلْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'un, Allahumma Indaka Ahtasibu Musibati Fa'jirni Fiha Wa Abdil li Khairan Minha

(We belong to Allah, and to Him we do return. O Allah, I seek reward with You for my affliction, so reward me for it, and replace it for me with something better)
_
Al-Muṭṭalib reported that Umm Salamah narrated: On an occasion Abū Salamah came back after he was with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and said, “I heard Allāh’s Messenger recite a statement that made me delighted.”

He said, “No Muslim is struck with an affliction and then says istirja’ (saying: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiʿūn” [from Allāh we come and to Him we will return]) when the affliction strikes, and then he says, ‘O Allāh! reward me for my loss and give me what is better than it’, except that Allāh will do that for him.”

Umm Salamah said: So I memorized these words. When Abū Salamah died I said istirja’ and said: “O Allāh, compensate me for my loss and give me what is better than it.”

I then thought about it and said, “Who is better than Abū Salamah?”

When my ʿiddah finished, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked for permission to see me while I was dyeing a skin that I had. I washed my hands, gave him permission to enter and handed him a pillow, and he sat on it. He then asked me for marriage and when he finished his speech.

I said, “O Messenger of Allāh! It is not that I do not want you, but I am very jealous and I fear that you might experience some wrong mannerism from me for which Allāh would punish me. And I am old and have ʿiyāl (children).”

He (ﷺ) then said, “As for the jealousy that you mentioned, Allāh the Exalted will remove it from you. As for being old as you mentioned, I have suffered what you have suffered. And as for what what you mentioned of having children, then verily your children are my children.”

She said, “I have submitted to Allāh’s Messenger.”

Allāh’s Messenger married her.

And Umm Salamah said later, “Allāh compensated me for Abū Salamah with someone better than him: the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.”

[Sahih Muslim 11/4 (918), Imam Ahmad, al-Musnad 26/262 (16344), Abu Dawood 3/190 no 3119 and At-Tirmidhi 3511 and declared authentic by Al-Albani, also see Saheeh al-Jami 5/432 no 6479]

DUA WHEN IN AFFLICTION OR CALAMITY AND ASKING ALLAH FOR BETTER THAN WHAT WAS LOST

Saud Al Shuraim Sura  19  Maryam

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhuriyyatina qurrata A'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama

Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.

[Qur'an Surah Al-Furqan : 74]

Explanation from Tafseer Ibn Katheer: 

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ﴾

(And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes...'') means those who ask Allah to bring forth from their loins offspring who will obey Him and worship Him and not associate anything in worship with Him. Ibn `Abbas said, "This means (offspring) who will strive to obey Allah and bring them joy in this world and the Hereafter.'' Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Nufayr said: "We sat with Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad one day, and a man passed by and said, "How blessed are these two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah ! Would that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed.'' Al-Miqdad got angry, and I was surprised, because the man had not said anything but good. Then he turned to him and said, "What makes a man wish to be present when Allah had caused him to be absent, and he does not know how he would have behaved if he had been there By Allah, there are people who saw the Messenger of Allah , and Allah will throw them on their faces in Hell because they did not accept him or believe in him. Are you not grateful that Allah brought you forth from your mothers' wombs believing in your Lord and in what your Prophet brought, and that the test went to others and not to you Allah sent His Prophet during the most difficult time that any Prophet was ever sent, after a long period of ignorance, when the people could see no better religion than the worship of idols, and he brought the Criterion which distinguishes truth from falsehood and which would separate a father from his son. A man would realize that his father, son or brother was a disbeliever, and since Allah had opened his heart to Faith, he knew that if his relative died he would go to Hell, so he could not rest knowing that his loved one was in the Fire. This is what Allah referred to in the Ayah,

﴿وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ﴾

(And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes...'') Its chain of narrators is Sahih, although they did not report it.

﴿وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَاماً﴾

(and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa.) Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi, Qatadah and Rabi` bin Anas said: "Leaders who would be taken as examples in good.'' Others said: "Guides who would call others to goodness.'' They wanted their worship to be connected to the worship of their children and offspring, and their guidance to go beyond themselves and benefit others. This would be more rewarding and a better end, as it was recorded in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:

«إِذَا مَاتَ ابْنُ آدَمَ انْقَطَعَ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّااِمنْ ثَلَاثٍ: وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ، أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَة»

(When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease apart from three: a righteous child who will pray for him, knowledge from which others may benefit after him, or ongoing charity.)
