1307. It was narrated that Qais bin 'Ubâd said: "Ammâr bin Yâsir led the people in prayer and he made the prayer short. It was as if they disliked that, so he said: 'Did I not do bowing and prostration properly?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And I said a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to say: Allâhumma bi 'ilmikal-ghaiba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi ahîni mâ 'alimtal-hayâta khairan li, wa tawaffanî idhâ 'alimtal-wafâta khairan li wa as'aluka khashyataka fîl-ghaibi wash-shahâdati kalimatal-ikhlâs fir-ridâ'i wal-ghaibî, as'aluka na'iman lâ yanfudu wa qurrata 'ainin lâ tanqati'u wa as'alukar-riḍā'i bil qaddāi' wa bardal-'aishi ba'dal-mawti, wa ladhḥatan-nazari ila wajhika wash-shawqa ila liqā'ika wa a'ūḏhu bika min darrā'a mudirratin wa fitnatin mudillatin, Allāhumma zayyinnā bizīnatil-īmāni waj'alnā hudātān muḥtadīn (O Allāh, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me, and I ask You for fear of You in secret and in public. I ask You to make me true in speech in times of pleasure and of anger. I ask You for everlasting delight and joy that will never cease. I ask You to make me pleased with that which You have decreed and for an easy life after death, and for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You, and I seek refuge in You from calamity that will bring about harm or a trial that will cause deviation. O Allāh, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided.)" (Hasan)
