Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī

The opening supplication in prayer

ahmad:804 – Ḥujayn > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > ʿammihi al-Mājishūn b. Abī Salamah > ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Aʿraj > ʿUbaydullah b. Abī Rāfiʿ > ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib > Rasūl Allāh ﷺ

[AI] that when he began the prayer, he said the takbir, then said: "I have directed my face..." Then he mentioned something similar, except that he said: "And turn away from me its evil."

أحمد:٨٠٤ – حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ الْمَاجِشُونِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلاةَ كَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي»، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ، إِلا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا».
