His du’a at Sleeping
When he went to bed or awoke from sleep, he recited this du’a:
“There is no god but Allah the Alive, the Eternal, and He has power over all
things. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and the Deity of the
messengers. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the seven heavens and all that which
they have, and the Lord of the seven earths and all that which they have, the
Lord of the Great Throne, and peace be on the messengers, and praise be to Allah
the Lord of the worlds.”
The du’a of Resorting
“O You, my supply, my hope and reliance, my resort and support, O You the One
and Unique, O You, Who “say: He, Allah, is One”, O Allah, I ask You by those
like whom You have not created in Your creation, to have blessing on them…”
His du’a of seeking protection from Satan
“O You Who are mighty in Your might, Who are the mightiest in Your might, make
me mighty from Your might, assist me with Your help, keep away from me the evil
suggestion of the Devils, defend me by Your defense, protect me by Your
protection, and make me from the good people of Your creation, O You One,
Unique, Eternal!’
A lofty du’a
“O You the most hearing of hearers, the most perceptive of seers, the best of
lookers, the promptest of accounters, the Most Merciful of the merciful, the
wisest of judges, have blessing on Muhammad and on the progeny of Muhammad, and
increase my livelihood, prolong my old, favor me with Your mercy, make me from
those who defend Your religion and do not replace me by other than me…!’1
