“O Allāh, guide me with those You have guided, heal me with those
You have healed, care for me with those You have cared for, bless me
in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You
have decreed. Indeed, You decree while no one decrees against You.
Whomever You show loyalty towards will never be humiliated and
whoever You show enmity towards will never be honoured. Blessed
are You, our Lord, and You are exalted far above (any deficiencies).
{There is no shelter from You except with You.}”1

Reported by Abu Dāwūd (1425), Tirmidhi (464), An-Nasā’ī (1745), Ibn Mājah (1178), Ahmad (1718),
Al-Albāni said it is Saḥiḥ in ‘Qiyām Ramaḍān’ (31).

1
This is the supplication which the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬taught his grandson al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali (‫ )رضي هللا عنهما‬to say either before or
after the rukū’ in the Wiṭr prayer. In the Tarāwih prayer during the second half of Ramaḍān, one may add further
supplications to this as the companions used to do (see al-Albāni’s book ‘Qiyām Ramaḍān’ p.31) - Translated by our
brothers at Markaz us-Sunnah, Alperton (may Allah reward them).
