“O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, grant me well-being, and provide for me.”

Muslim records this from the Prophet (peace be upon him) as words taught to a man who could not memorise much of the Qur’an, and Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi preserve the same five requests as what he said between the two prostrations. The commentators note what the list covers between them: forgiveness for the past, mercy for the person, guidance for the direction, well-being for the body, provision for the day.
