He heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying to the person who bad come to him and asked him as to how he should beg his Lord, that he should utter these words: O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, protect me, provide me sustenance, and he collected his fingers together except his thumb and said: It is in these words (that there is supplication) which sums up for you (the good) of this world and that of the Hereafter.
