Back to Duas of Hadith

Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas (RA): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), used to say:

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنْ تُضِلَّنِيْ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الَّذِيْ لَا يَمُوْتُ وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ يَمُوتُونَ

Pronunciation

Allaahumma laka aslamtu, wabika aamantu, wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu, wa ilayka anabtu, wabika khaasamtu, Allaahumma Innee a‘oodhu bi‘izzatika, laa ’ilaaha ’illaa anta an tu’dillanee, antal-‘haiyyul-ladhee laa yamootu, wal-jinnu wal-’insu ya-mootoon

Meaning

O Allah, to You I did submit, and in You I did believe, and on You I did rely, and to You I did return, and with Your [help] I did dispute [defend and fight]. I seek refuge in Your Might, there is no deity [worthy of worship] but You, [that You] let me not go astray. You are the Ever living who does not perish, while the jinn and mankind perish.

Source: Muslim: 2717

حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمُرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي أَنْتَ الْحَىُّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ وَالْجِنُّ وَالإِنْسُ يَمُوتُونَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏

Ibn 'Abbas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say: " O Allah, it is unto Thee that I surrender myself. I affirm my faith in Thee and repose my trust in Thee and turn to Thee in repentance and with Thy help fought my adversaries. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee with Thine Power; there is no god but Thou, lest Thou leadest me astray. Thou art ever-living that dieth not, while the Jinn and mankind die." [Muslim: 2717]
