The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from four things: Knowledge which does not profit, a heart which is not submissive, a soul which has an insatiable appetite, and a supplication which is not heard." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1548)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٨٢٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ أَنَّ سَعِيدًا الْمَقْبُرِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ  

nasai-kubra:7821Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Khaluf > Ibn Khalīfah > Ḥafṣ > Anas

that the Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate through these supplications: "O Allah, (1) I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit, (2) a heart that is not fearful ˹of You˺, (3) a supplication that is not heard ˹by You˺, and (4) a self that is not satisfied."

He said: Then he would say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from these four ˹things˺."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٧٨٢١أَخْبَرَنِي قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلُفٌ هُوَ ابْنُ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذِهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ (١) عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ، (٢) وَقَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ، (٣) وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ، (٤) وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ۔»

قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعِ۔»
