[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say when he went out to pray, "O Allah, make me closer to those who come close to You, and direct me towards those who turn to You, and respond to those who ask You."  

الطبراني:٢٠٢٧٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ثنا قَحْطَبَةُ بْنُ غَدَانَةَ ثنا أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَقْرَبَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ وَأَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْحَحَ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ»
