" عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِىٌّ إِلَى النَّبِى ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله عَلِّمْنِى شَيْئًا أَقُولُهُ: قَالَ: قُلْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، الله أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا، وَالْحَمْدُ لله كَثِيرًا، سبحَانَ الله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِالله الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ، فَقَالَ الأَعْرَابِىُّ: هَذَا لِرَبِّى فَمَا لِىَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى وَارْحَمْنِى وَاهْدِنِى وَارْزُقْنِى وَعَافِنِى".
Teach me the words which I should (often) utter. He said: Utter," There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Allah is the Greatest of the great and all praise is due to Him. Hallowed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds, there is no Might and Power but that of Allah, the All-Powerful and the Wise." He (that desert Arab) said: These all (glorify) my Lord. But what about me? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You should say:" O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to righteousness and provide me sustenance." Musa (one of the narrators) said: I think he also said:" Grant me safety." But I cannot say for certain whether he said this or not. Ibn Abi Shaiba has not made a mention of the words of Musa in his narration.
جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَلِّمْنِي كَلاَمًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ قُلْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ قَالَ فَهَؤُلاَءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي قَالَ مُوسَى أَمَّا عَافِنِي فَأَنَا أَتَوَهَّمُ وَمَا أَدْرِي وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَوْلَ مُوسَى
A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I cannot memorise anything from the Qur'an: so teach me something which is sufficient for me. He said: Say Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is most great, and there is no might and no strength but in Allah. :He said: Messenger of Allah, this is for Allah, but what is for me? He said: Say: O Allah have mercy on me, and sustain me, and keep me well, and guide me. When he stood up, he made a sign with his hand (indicating that he had earned a lot). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He filed up his hand with virtues.
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْئًا فَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يُجْزِئُنِي مِنْهُ قَالَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَمَا لِي قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاهْدِنِي فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ مَلأَ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ

جَاءَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي كَلامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ لِرَبِّي ﷻ فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ قُلْ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ مُوسَى أَمَّا عَافِنِي فَأَنَا أَتَوَهَّمُ وَمَا أَدْرِي

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَلِّمْنِي كَلامًا أَقُولُهُ قَالَ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيرًا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ خَمْسًا قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ لِرَبِّي فَمَا لِي؟ قَالَ قُلْ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَارْزُقْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me something from the Quran that will suffice me." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say: Subhanallah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power or might except with Allah)." The man repeated these words with his hand on his chest and said, "This is for my Lord, what should I do next?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say: 'Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, provide for me, and protect me.'" The man repeated these words with his other hand on his chest, and then he stood up. Ja'far ibn Awf added to his narration, "I was present with Ibrahim when he narrated this hadith, and I memorized it from him."

The man asked, "Is this sufficient for me with my Lord?"
