3551. Ibn 'Abbās said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate, saying: "My Lord, aid me and do not aid against me, and grant me victory and do not grant victory over me, plot for me and do not plot against me, guide me and facilitate guidance for me, grant me victory over those who transgress against me. My Lord, make me ever-grateful to You, ever-remembering of You, ever-fearful of You, ever-obedient to You, ever-humble to You, oft-turning and returning to You. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash my sin, answer my call, make firm my proof, make firm my tongue, guide my heart, and remove the treachery of my chest (Rabbi A'inni Wa Lā Tu'in 'Alayya, Wanšurni Wa Lā Tanšur 'Alayya, Wamkur Lī Wa Lā Tamkur 'Alayya, Wahdini Wa Yassir Līl-Huda, Wanšurni 'Alā Man Bagha 'Alayya. Rabbij'alni Laka Shak-kāran, Laka Dhak-kāran, Laka Rah-hāban, Laka Miṭwā'an, Laka Mukhbitan, Ilaika Awwāhan Munibā. Rabbi Taqabbal Tawbatī, Waghsil Hawbatī, Wa Ajab Da'watī, Wa Thab-bit Hujjatī, Wa Saddid Lisānī Wāhdi Qalbī, Waslul Sakhīmata Ṣadrī).” (Ṣaḥīh) Mahmūd bin Ghailān said: “And Muḥammad bin Bishr Al-ʿAbdī reported to us from Sufyān Ath-Thawrī” with this chain, and it is similar. [Abū ʿEisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh.

٣٥٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ ‌عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ ‌طُلَيْقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو يَقُولُ: رَبِّ أَعِنِّي وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ»، وَانْصُرْنِي وَلَا تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَامْكُرْ لِي وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ، وَاهْدِنِي وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَى لِي، وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ، رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا، لَكَ ذَكَّارًا، لَكَ رَهَّابًا، لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا، لَكَ مُخْبِتًا، إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ صَدْرِي. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. ٣٥٥١ (م) - قَالَ ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ : وَحَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَهُ.

Commentary

In this comprehensive supplication the Prophet ﷺ has presented himself in a most obedient way, and has asked Allāh ﷻ to help him in every event of his life, he himself is feeble and defenseless and needs His help and guidance in every single matter of life. This is also to teach the Muslims the way of begging from Allāh ﷻ.
