Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ شَيْبَةَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ يِسَافٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا كَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ قَالَتْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Yunus ibn ʿAbd al-Aʿla reported to us, from Ibn Wahb, who said: Musa ibn Shaybah informed me, from al-Awzaʿi, from ʿAbdah ibn Abi Lubabah, that Ibn Yasaf told him he had asked ʿAishah, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: ‘What supplication did the Messenger of Allah most often make before his death?’ She said: ‘The supplication he made most often was: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done.”’
