A simple beautiful dua of a bedouin

The Prophet ﷺ said to a man, “What do you say in the prayer?” He replied, “I recite the tashahhud and I say: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and I seek refuge in You from the Fire. As for me, I am not good at your murmuring (long and sophisticated duas) nor the murmuring of Muadh.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Around all that is what we ‘murmur.’”

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ «كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ؟» قَالَ: أَتَشَهَّدُ وَأَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَمَا إِنِّي لاَ أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ وَلاَ دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ».

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man: ‘What do you say during your Salat?’ He said: ‘The Tashah-hud, then I ask Allah for Paradise, and I seek refuge with Him from Hell, but I do not understand what you and Mu’adh murmur (during Salat). He said: ‘Our murmuring revolves around the same things.’”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ أَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ وَلاَ دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ حَوْلَهُمَا نُدَنْدِنُ

the Messenger of Allah (saas) said to a man: "What do you say during your prayer?" He said: "I recite the Tashah-hud then I ask for Allah for Paradise and see refuge with Him from Hell, but by Allah I do not understand your whispering or the whispering of Mu'adh." He said: "It is concerning them (Paradise and Hell) that we are whispering."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ أَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ وَلاَ دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَوْلَهُمَا نُدَنْدِنُ

AbuSalih reported on the authority of some Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: The Prophet ﷺ said to a person: what do you say in prayer? He replied: I first recite tashahhud (supplication recited in sitting position), and then I say: O Allah, I ask Thee for Paradise, and I seek refuge in Thee from Hell-Fire, but I do not understand your sound and the sound of Mu'adh (what you say or he says in prayer). The Prophet ﷺ said: We too go around it (paradise and Hell-fire). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 792)

عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِرَجُلٍ كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ أَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ أَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أُحْسِنُ دَنْدَنَتَكَ وَلَا دَنْدَنَةَ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ
