Dua for protection against misguidance

muslim:2717 – Ḥajjāj b. al-Shāʿir > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr Abū Maʿmar > ʿAbd al-Wārith > al-Ḥusayn > Ibn Buraydah > Yaḥyá b. Yaʿmur > Ibn ʿAbbās

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say:

allāhumma laka aslamtu, wa-bika āmantu, wa-ʿalayka tawakkaltu, wa-ilayka anabtu, wa-bika khāṣamtu. allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bi-ʿizzatika, lā ilāha illā anta, an tuḍillanī. anta al-ḥayy alladhī lā yamūtu, wa-al-jinnu wa-al-insu yamūtūn.
(O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You I have relied, to You I have turned in repentance, and by You I have argued. O Allah, I seek refuge in Your might—there is no god but You—from You leading me astray. You are the Ever-Living who does not die, while the jinn and humankind die.)

مسلم:٢٧١٧ – حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمُرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ:
«(اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ۔ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي، أَنْتَ الْحَىُّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ وَالْجِنُّ وَالإِنْسُ يَمُوتُونَ.)»
