Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، سَمِعْتُ هِلاَلَ بْنَ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ أَخْبِرِينِي بِدُعَاءٍ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُو بِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan reported to us; he said: Abu Dawud narrated to us; he said: Shuʿbah narrated to us, from Husayn, who said: I heard Hilal ibn Yasaf, from Farwah ibn Nawfal, who said: I said to ʿAishah, ‘Tell me a supplication that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to make.’ She said: ‘He used to say: “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.”’
