Dua 8
اَللّٰهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ اَحْيِنِيْ مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِّيْ وَتَوَفَّنِيْٓ اِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِّيْ، [ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَسْئَلُكَ ] خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَاَسْئَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ وَاَسْئَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنٰى وَاَسْئَلُكَ نَعِيْمًا لَّا يَنْفَدُ وَاَسْئَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَّا تَنْقَطِعُ وَاَسْئَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَآءِ وَاَسْئَلُكَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَاَسْئَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ اِلٰى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ اِلٰى لِقَآئِكَ فِيْ غَيْرِ ضَرَّآءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَّلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُّضِلَّةٍ اَللّٰهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِيْنَةِ الْاِيْمَانِ وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُّهْتَدِيْنَ
O Allah! By Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive as long as You know that life is better for me, and take my soul when You know that death is better for me. O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for fear of You in private and in public (in both states); I ask You for the ability to speak the word of truth in contentment and in anger (in both states); I ask You for moderation in poverty and in wealth; I ask You for a blessing that never ends; I ask You for a coolness of the eyes that never ceases; I ask You for contentment with Your decree; I ask You for the coolness of life after death; and I ask You for the pleasure of looking at Your Face and for a longing to meet You, (which) I (may) attain without any harmful distress or misleading trial. O Allah! Adorn us with the adornment of faith and make us guides who are rightly guided.
The reciter says “fil-ghinaa wal-faqr” (wealth, then poverty) instead of “fil-faqri wal-ghinaa”.
Sahih, Sunan an-Nasa'i, no. (1305), the wording is his, Sahih Ibn Hibban, no. (1971), where the addition in square brackets is found, Musnad Ahmad (4/264), and al-Albani graded it Sahih in “Takhrij al-Kalim at-Tayyib” no. (106).
The original book has “فِي الْغِنَى وَالْفَقْرِ”, which is the wording of al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim (1/524) and others, but in Sunan an-Nasa'i, Sahih Ibn Hibban and Musnad Ahmad the wording is “فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنَى”, so that wording has been given.
