“O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision, and deeds that are accepted.”

Narrated from Umm Salamah and recorded by Ibn Majah, who places it where it belongs in the day: the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say it after the dawn prayer. The three requests line up with the three ways a life goes wrong — what you know, what you live on, and what you do — and each is qualified: not knowledge but beneficial knowledge, not provision but wholesome provision, not deeds but deeds that are accepted.
