Allāhumma innā nas’aluka min khayri mā sa’alaka minhu Nabiyyuka Muḥammadun ṣallā-llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, wa naʿūdhu bika min sharri ma-staʿādha minhu Nabiyyuka Muḥammadun ṣallā-llāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, wa Anta-l-Mustaʿān, wa ʿalayka-l-balāgh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.
Translation
O Allah, we beg You for the good which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked from You. We seek Your protection from the evil which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought protection for from You. You are the One whose assistance is sought and You are the Only One who provides and suffices. There is no power (to avert evil) nor strength (to do good) except by Allah.
