Whoever guides someone to good has a reward like the one who does it.
Sahih Muslim · 1893
اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ، وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتكَ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَحُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمَا، وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
Allāhumma innī as’aluka al-thabāta fī al-amr, wa al-ʿazīmata ʿalā al-rushd, wa as’aluka mūjibāti raḥmatik, wa ʿazā’ima maghfiratik, wa as’aluka shukra niʿmatik, wa ḥusna ʿibādatik, wa as’aluka qalban salīman, wa lisānan ṣādiqan, wa as’aluka min khayri mā taʿlam, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā taʿlam, wa astaghfiruka limā taʿlam; innaka anta ʿallāmu al-ghuyūb.
O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters and determination upon right guidance. I ask You for what brings Your mercy and earns Your forgiveness, for gratitude for Your blessings and excellent worship. I ask You for a sound heart and truthful tongue. I ask You for the good You know, seek refuge from the evil You know, and seek Your forgiveness for what You know. You alone are the Knower of the unseen.
A prayer for guidance, sound judgment, and a heart kept firm upon faith.
