the Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate: “O Allah, indeed, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and sufficiency (Allāhumma innī as’alukal-hudā wat-tuqā, wal-ʿafāfa wal-ghinā).”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “It used to be from the supplication of Dawud that he would say: ‘O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for the action that will cause me to attain Your love, O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water (Allāhumma innī as’aluka ḥubbaka wa ḥubba man yuḥibbuka wal-ʿamalalladhī yuballighunī ḥubbak. Allāhummajʿal ḥubbaka aḥabba ilaiyya min nafsī, wa ahlī wa minal-mā’il-bārid) He said: “And when the Prophet ﷺ would mention Dawud, he would narrate about him, saying: “He was the best in worship out of all men.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ دَاوُدَ يَقُولُ «(اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَالْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُبَلِّغُنِي حُبَّكَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ.)» قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ دَاوُدَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَعْبَدَ الْبَشَرِ
