Question

Can you please provide the reference for the following du’a?

 اللهم اجعل سريرتي خيرا من علانيتي و اجعل علانيتي صالحة. اللهم إني أسألك من صالح ما تؤتي الناس من المال و الاهل و الولد غير الضال و لا المضل

 

Answer

This du’a is recorded in Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 3586.

 

Transliteration:

Allahumaj’al sarirati khayramin ‘alaniyati waj’al ‘alaniyati saliha. Allahuma ini as-aluka min salihi ma tu-tin nasa minal mali wal ahli wal waladi ghayra dalliw wa lal mudill.

Translation:

‘O Allah, make my inner self better than my outer deeds and make my outer nature good. O Allah, I seek from You the good of what You give to people with regards to family, wealth and children which neither strays nor leads astray.’

 

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
