اللهم إني أسألك الهدى، والتقى، والعفاف، والغنى

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It is recommended to ask Allah for these four things because of the good they bring to the slave both in the worldly life and the Hereafter. This supplication also implies resorting to Allah, and his doing away with what people have.<br>
2) Asking Allah Almighty for guidance, piety, abstinence, and sufficiency is of the best comprehensive supplications.
