Affirming Your Inability to Praise Allah Sufficiently
✨اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ ، وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَتِكَ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ ، لَا أُحْصِيْ ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ ، أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِكَ
Translation :
O Allah, I seek protection in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your forgiveness from Your punishment. I seek protection from You through You. I cannot enumerate Your praise. You are as You have praised Yourself.
Transliteration :
Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bi-riḍāka min sakhatik, wa bi-muʿāfātika min ʿuqūbatik, wa aʿūdhu bika minka, lā uḥṣī thanā’an ʿalayk, Anta kamā athnayta ʿalā nafsik.
Hadith:
Alī b. Abī Ṭālib (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say [the above] at the end of his witr Salah." (Abū Dāwūd 1427, Tirmidhi 3566, Ibn Majah 1179) In another narration, it is narrated from Aisha (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā): "I noticed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was missing from his bed one night, so I went looking for him, and my hand touched the soles of his feet while he was prostrating with his feet upright. He was saying: [the above without the word إِنِّيْ]." (Muslim 486)
