Riyad as-Salihin, 1487
'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) taught my father two statements to recite in his Du'a. These are: "Allahumma al-himni rushdi, wa a'idhni min sharri nafsi (O Allah! Inspire in me guidance and deliver me from the evils within myself)." <b>[At-Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن عمران بن الحصين، رضي الله عنهما، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم علم أباه حصينًا كلمتين يدعو بهما:
اللهم ألهمني رشدي، وأعذني من شر نفسي
((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)).
