3483. 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ said to my father: 'O Ḥuṣain, how many deities do you worship now?' He said: 'Seven. Six in the earth, and one above the heavens.' He said, 'So which of them do you take for your ardent requests and fears?' He said: 'The one above the heavens.' He said, 'O Ḥuṣain, if you would but accept Islam, I would teach you two phrases that would benefit you.'" He said: "So when Ḥuṣain accepted Islam, he said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, teach me the two phrases you promised me,' so he (ﷺ) said: 'Say: O Allāh, inspire me with my guidance, and protect me from the evil of my soul (Allāhumma Alhimnī Rushdī, Wa A'dhnī Min Sharri Nafsi).'" (Da'if)
