Innī As'aluka Hubbaka Wa Hubba Man Yuhibbuka Wal-'Amalalladhi Yuballighuni Hubbak. Allāhummaj'al Hubbaka Aḥabba Ilaya Min Nafsi, Wa Ahli Wa Minal-Mā'il-Bārid)"

Commentary
Prophet Dāwud was an extremely pious person and worshipped Allāh ﷻ. His life is a symbol of submission and worship, therefore the Prophet ﷺ taught this supplication to his Companions that only Allāh ﷻ is the focus of love and worship.
