The  "Holy Prophet"   used to say in the q£nut of the Wi§r Prayer:

 

أَللّٰهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَ عَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَ تَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ قِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَ لاَ يُقْضى عَلَيْكَ سُبْحَانَكَ رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِكَ يَا رَحِيمُ.

 

 

O All¡h  "All¡h" ! Guide me as those whom You have guided, and grant me well-being as those whom You have granted well-being, and take care of my affair as those whose affairs You have taken care of, and bless me in what You grant me, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed, verily You decree and nothing is decreed upon You. Glory be to You O Lord of the House! I seek forgiveness from You and turn to You, and I seek refuge with You and rely on You, and there is no power or might but by Your will, O Most Merciful![i] [i] al-Faqih 1:487, Bi¦¡r al-Anw¡r 87:205

from Mafatih -Baqiyqtus salehat

Fourteenth: This is a dua that is said in the Witr Prayer (i.e. the one-unit prayer following the Night Prayer and the Shaf` Prayer). `All¡mah al-Majlis¢, may Allah have mercy upon him, in Bi¦¡r al-Anw¡r, has quoted it from the book entitled al-Ikhtiy¡r.

The suppliant may raise his hands towards the sky and say:
