After Fajr prayer, the Prophet would say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan' — O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision, and accepted deeds. This comprehensive dua covers the three essentials for a blessed day.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.
Meaning: O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision, and accepted deeds.
Source: Sunan Ibn Majah #925This concise yet comprehensive dua asks for the three pillars of a successful life: knowledge that benefits (not knowledge that leads astray), provision that is pure and lawful (tayyib), and deeds that are accepted by Allah. The Prophet specifically chose to recite it after Fajr, setting the spiritual tone for the entire day.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say after the Fajr prayer: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.'
