Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 637
فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الْغَدَ فَقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أَيُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: سَلِ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، فَإِذَا أُعْطِيتَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ فَقَدْ أَفْلَحْتَ.
A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked, “Messenger of Allah, which supplication is best?” He replied, “Ask Allah for pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter.” The man came to him the next day and asked, “Prophet of Allah, which supplication is best?” He replied, “Ask Allah for pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter. If you are granted well-being in this world and the Hereafter, you have indeed prospered.”
