اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ عِيْشَةً نَّقِيَّةً ، وَمِيْتَةً سَوِيَّةً ، وَمَرَدًّا غَيْرَ مُخْزٍ وَّلَا فَاضِحٍ

English translation

“O Allah, I beg you for a pure life, a good death, and a return (to You) which is neither humiliating nor disgraceful.”

Virtue & benefit: ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the du’ā of the Prophet ﷺ in the two Eid’s was: [the above]. He would also add: “O Allah, do not give us a sudden death, and do not take us unexpectedly, and do not hurry us from (fulfilling) a right or (making a) bequest. O Allah, we ask you for chastity, self-sufficiency, taqwā (fear), guidance, and a good-ending in this world and the Hereafter. And we seek refuge in you from doubt, opposing (the truth), ostentation and fame in your religion. O Turner of hearts, do not let our hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us Your mercy. You are indeed the Giver of all bounties.” (Tabarānī in Mu’jam al-Awsat 7572)
