adab:679Abu Umama said, "We were with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he made many supplications which we did not remember. We said, 'You make supplications which we do not remember.' He said, 'I will inform you of something which will combine all of them for you:

"O Allah, We ask You for what Your Prophet Muhammad asked You, and we seek refuge with You from what Your Prophet Muhammad sought refuge. O Allah, You are the One to whom one turns for help and You are the One who brings it about. There is no power nor strength except by Allah," or words to that effect.'"  

الأدب المفرد:٦٧٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَعَا بِدُعَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ لاَ نَحْفَظُهُ فَقُلْنَا دَعَوْتَ بِدُعَاءٍ لاَ نَحْفَظُهُ؟ فَقَالَ سَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ يَجْمَعُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ لَكُمْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ مِمَّا سَأَلَكَ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَنَسْتَعِيذُكَ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَكَ مِنْهُ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَعَلَيْكَ الْبَلاَغُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ

tirmidhi:3521Muḥammad b. Ḥātim al-Muʾaddib > ʿAmmār b. Muḥammad Ibn Ukht Sufyān al-Thawrī > al-Layth b. Abū Sulaym > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Sābiṭ > Abū Umāmah

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated with many supplications of which we did not preserve a thing. We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you supplicated with many supplications of which we did not preserve a thing.’ He ﷺ said: ‘Should I not direct you to what will include all of that? That you say: O Allah, we ask You from the good of what Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked You for, and we seek refuge in You from the evil of that which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought refuge in You from, and You are the one from Whom aid is sought, and it is for You to fulfill, and there is no might or power except by Allah (Allāhumma innā nas’aluka min khairi mā sa’alaka minhu nabiyyuka Muḥammad, ṣallallāhu ʿalaihi wa sallam, wa naʿūdhu bika min sharri mastaʿādha minhu nabiyyuka Muḥammad, ṣallallāhu ʿalaihi wa sallam, wa antal-mustaʿānu wa ʿalaikal-balāgh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh).’”
