And we relate from the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd from ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn Abī Bakrah , who said to his father: “Dear father, I hear you supplicating every morning: ‘O Allah, give me health in my body, O Allah, give me health in my hearing, Allah, give me health in my sight. O Allah, I seek protection in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek protection in You from punishment in the grave. There is no god but You.’ You repeat it thrice in the morning and thrice in the evening.” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah making these supplications and I love to follow his Sunnah.” ^[24].
