The Du’a Containing All Prayers, as Taught by the Prophet -peace and blessings be upon him-:
Abu Umama (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited many supplications, but we could not memorize them. So, we said:
“O Messenger of Allah! You recite many prayers, and we cannot memorize them.” The Noble Prophet then said:
“Should I not teach you a du’a that encompasses all those prayers? Say:
Arabic Pronunciation: ”Allâhumma innî es’aluka min hayri mā sa’alahu minhū nabiyyūka Muḥammadun ṣallāllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Wa na‘ūzubika min sharri mastā’aża minhū nabiyyūka Muḥammadun ṣallāllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Wa anta al-mustaān, wa ‘aleykal-balāgh, wa lā hawla walā quwwata illā billāh”
Meaning: O Allah! I ask you for the good things that Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked of You. And we seek refuge in You from the evils that Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge from You. Help comes only from You. You are the one who brings people to their goals in this world and the Hereafter. Strength to avoid sin and ability to worship can only be attained with Allah’s help. (Tirmidhi, Daawat 89)
