Comprehensive Good and Protection from Evil

Hadith/Dhikr
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ، عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ، عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَاذَ بِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ قَضَيْتَهُ لِي خَيْرًا

Translation

“O Allah, I ask You for all good, sooner and later, what I know of it and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all evil, sooner and later, what I know of it and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your slave and Prophet has asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil from which Your slave and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and for every word or deed that brings one closer to it, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and from every word or deed that brings one closer to it. And I ask You to make every decree that You decree concerning me good.”

Source & authenticity

Source: Hadith/Dhikr

Reference: Sunan Ibn Mājah 3846

Authenticity: Sahih

Ibn Mājah 3846 is graded ṣaḥīḥ by Darussalam and by Ibn Ḥibbān and al‑Ḥākim; it is one of the most comprehensive prophetic supplications for all forms of good and protection from all forms of evil. Caution: It is long and easy to truncate; if only part is quoted (for example just the Jannah/Fire segment), it should be clearly labeled as an excerpt from a longer dua.
