Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The supplication most often recited by the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was:
"Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan,
wa fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar
(O our Rubb! give us in this world that which is good
and in the Hereafter that which is good,
and save us from the punishment of the Fire).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In the narration of Muslim it is added that whenever
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) supplicated,
he used to beseech Allah with this Du`a.
Commentary: It is desirable to recite this Du`a which is mentioned in
the Qur'an (2:201) and which comprehends all that is good both in this
life and the Hereafter.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made it a
habit to recite this Du`a, and the Companions were eager to follow
him in all his words and actions.
