Riyad as-Salihin, 75

Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to supplicate:

"O Allah! To You I have submitted, and in You do I believe, and in You I put my trust, to You do I turn, and for You I argued. O Allah, I seek refuge with You through Your Power; there is none worthy of worship except You Alone; that You safeguard me against going astray. You are the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists; the One Who never dies, whereas human beings and jinn will all die". [Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

الثاني‏:‏ عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما أيضاً أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول‏:‏ ‏

‏اللهم لك أسلمت وبك آمنت، وعليك توكلت، وإليك أنبت ، وبك خاصمت‏.‏ اللهم أعوذ بعزتك، لا إله إلا أنت أن تضلني، أنت الحي الذي لا تموت، والجن والإنس يموتون‏

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏وهذا لفظ مسلم، واختصره البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Guidance from the Hadith: 1) The obligation of relying on Allah Almighty alone because He possesses all the attributes of perfection. Upon Him alone one must rely, rather than relying on the needy creatures. All of us are in need of Allah and need His help. 2) We should follow the example of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in using those inclusive words in supplication, offering advice, and preaching, because the best guidance is that of Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Words in the Hadith: To You I repent: means that I returned to worship You and do all that brings me closer to You. And with Your Help I argue: it means that I seek Your help to argue against Your enemies for Your sake.
