"عَنْ عِمْرَان بن حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ حصين: كَمْ تَعبدُ الْيَوْمَ إلَهًا؟ قَالَ: سَبْعَةٌ، سِتَّةٌ فِى الأَرْضِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ: أَيُّهُم تعِدُّ لِرَغْبَتِكَ وَرَهْبَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: الَّذِى فِى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ يَا حُصَيْنُ: إِنْ أَسْلَمْت عَلَمتُكَّ كَلِمَتَين

يَنْفَعَانكَ فَأَسْلَمَ حُصَيْنٌ، فَأتى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَال يَا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ عَلِّمْنِى الكَلِمَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ وَعَدْتَنِى، قَالَ: قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ ألْهِمْنِى رُشْدِى، وَقِنِى شَرَّ نَفْسِى، وَفِى لَفْظٍ وأَعِذْنِى مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِى".

tirmidhi:3483 – Aḥmad b. Manīʿ > Abū Muʿāwiyah > Shabīb b. Shaybah > al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī > ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn

“The Prophet ﷺ said to my father: ‘O Husain, how many deities do you worship now?‘ He said: ‘Seven. Six in the earth, and one above the heavens.’ He said: ‘So which of them do you take for your ardent requests and fears?’ He said: ‘The one above the heavens.’ He said: ‘O Husain, if you would but accept Islam, I would teach you two phrases that would benefit you.’” He said: “So when Husain accepted Islam, he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me the two phrases you promised me.’ So he ﷺ said: “Say: O Allah, inspire me with my guidance, and protect me from the evil of my soul (Allāhumma alhimnī rushdī, wa aʿidhnī min sharri nafsī).’”  

الترمذي:٣٤٨٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ شَبِيبِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لأَبِي يَا حُصَيْنُ كَمْ تَعْبُدُ الْيَوْمَ إِلَهًا قَالَ أَبِي سَبْعَةً سِتًّا فِي الأَرْضِ وَوَاحِدًا فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ فَأَيُّهُمْ تَعُدُّ لِرَغْبَتِكَ وَرَهْبَتِكَ قَالَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ قَالَ يَا حُصَيْنُ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَّمْتُكَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ تَنْفَعَانِكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حُصَيْنٌ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي الْكَلِمَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ وَعَدْتَنِي فَقَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَلْهِمْنِي رُشْدِي وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Hurayrah, "How many gods do you worship today?" Abu Hurayrah replied, "Seven on earth and one in the heavens." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, "Which of them do you count on and fear the most?" Abu Hurayrah answered, "The one in the heavens." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Hurayrah, if you were to embrace Islam, I would teach you two phrases that would benefit you." When Abu Hurayrah embraced Islam, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me the two phrases that you promised." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say, 'O Allah, inspire me with guidance and prepare me for my own guidance.'"
