Ziyad bin `Ilaqah reported: My uncle Qutbah bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him)
said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to supplicate:
"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min munkaratil-akhlaqi, wal-a`mali, wal-ahwa`i"
(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from undesirable manners, deeds, and aspirations).''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: The prayer is recited to seek Allah's Help in shunning
bad manners and observing good manners and righteous deeds.
