Allāhumma ātinī afḍala mā tu’tī ‘ibādaka-ṣ-ṣāliḥīn.

WE RELATE FROM Sa‘d ibn Abī Waqqāṣ , who said that a man came to the ṣalāh while the Messenger of Allah was performing ṣalāh. He said when he came to the prayer line: “O Allah, grant me the best that You grant Your pious slaves.” When the Messenger of Allah completed the ṣalāh he asked: “Who spoke?” [The man] replied: “I, Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Then your horse will be hamstrung and you will become a shahīd in the Way of Allah.” ^[1].An-Nasā’ī and Ibn as-Sunnī narrated it. Al-Bukhārī also narrated it in his Tārīkh, under the entry for Muḥammad ibn Muslim ibn ‘Ā’idh.
