The most frequently recited Dua

Narrated by Anas (Radhi Allahu Anhu): The most frequent invocation of The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) was: “Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan waquina adhaban-nar" (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)


The disapproval of supplication in which a request is made to Allah for punishment of one's (misdeeds) in the world.

Anas (Radhi Allahu Anhu) reported that Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam)  visited a person from amongst the Muslims in order to inquire (about his health) who had grown feeble like the chicken. Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said: “Did you supplicate for anything or beg of Him about that?” He said: “Yes. I used to utter (these words): Impose punishment upon me earlier in this world, what You are going to impose upon me in the Hereafter.” Thereupon Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:  “Glorified be Allah, you have neither the power nor forbearance to take upon yourself (the burden of His Punishment). Why did you not say this: O Allah, grant us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of Fire.”  The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) made this supplication (for him) and he was all right.   (Muslim)
