A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sharif ibn Sabiq from al-Fadl ibn abu Qurrah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “There are three things that the prophets inherited from Adam until they reached the Messenger of Allah.

In the morning he would say, ‘O Lord, I request You to grant me a belief that accompany with my heart, a certainty in the fact that nothing can affect me except what You have written, make me happy with the share that You have assigned for me.’” Certain individuals of our people have narrated the above Hadith with this addition: “So I will not love hastening of what You have delayed, and the delay of what You have hastened, O Living, O Guardian, I plead for help through Your mercy, correct all of my affairs and do not leave me to my own soul not even for a blinking of an eye and grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (2/229))
