Hadith
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 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, near and far, what I know and what I do not know. I seek refuge in You from all evil, near and far, what I know and what I do not know. I ask You for Paradise and what brings me near to it, and I seek refuge from the Fire and what brings me near to it. I ask You to make every decree You ordain for me good.

Understand the dua

Background & benefit

Background

This long supplication from Ibn Mājah gathers requests for all good (immediate and delayed), refuge from all evil, asking for what the Prophet ﷺ asked for, and concludes with requesting Jannah and that every decree be good. ʿĀʾishah narrates that the Prophet ﷺ taught her this dua, making it one of the most comprehensive, since it covers every type of good and protection in brief but inclusive phrases.

Benefit

Reciting it helps a believer cover many concerns in one dua, especially when they don’t know how to list every need; it orients the heart towards Jannah and away from the Fire in a balanced way.
