Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used tomake dua saying, "O Allah, I askYou for good actions and for leavingwhat is disapproved of and for love of the poor. And if You wish totry people, then bring me to You without being tried."

Allahumma inniy asa'luka fala'l-khayrati, wa tarqa'l-munqarati, wahubba'l-masakin, wa idha aradta fi'n-nasi fitnatan fa'qbithni ilaykaghayra maftun.
