Remembrance 33 from Chapter 337

Allāhumma innī as’aluka min khayri mā sa’alaka minhu Nabiyyuka Muḥammadun ṣalla-llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, wa na‘ūdhu bika min sharri ma-sta‘ādha minhu Nabiyyuka Muḥammadun ṣalla-llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Wa Anta-l-Musta‘ānu wa ‘alayka-l-balāgh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.

We also relate from Abū Umāmah , who narrated: “The Messenger of Allah supplicated with many du‘ā’s but we did not memorise any of them. I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, you have supplicated with many du‘ā’s, but we have not memorised any of them.’ He replied: ‘Should I not show you one that combines all of them? Say: O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your Prophet Muḥammad asked of You, and I seek refuge with You from that which Your Prophet Muḥammad sought refuge. For You are the One Whose help is to be sought, and only by You can it be attained; and there is no power or strength except by Allah.’” ^[44].At-Tirmidhī says that this hadith is ḥasan.
