Rifa’a az-Zurqi (radiyAllāhu anhu) narrates;
“In the Battle of Uhud when the idolaters retreated, the Messenger of Allāh,
May Allāh bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Form straight ranks so that I can praise my Almighty Lord.’ They formed in ranks behind him.
He said, ‘O Allāh, all praise is due to You.
O Allāh, none can contract what You expand nor bring near what you put far away.
None can put far away what You bring near.
None can give what You withhold nor withhold what You give.
O Allāh, grant us Your blessings, mercy, grace and provision in abundance!
O Allah, I ask You for the abiding blessing which is neither changed nor removed.
O Allāh, I ask You for blessing on the Day of Utter Poverty and security on the Day of Fear (i.e. Day of Judgement)
O Allah, I seek Your protection from the evil of what You have granted us and the evil of what You have withheld from us.
O Allāh, make us love belief and adorn our hearts with it. Make us hate disbelief, deviance and rebellion. Place us among the rightly-guided.
O Allāh, make us die Muslims and make us live as Muslims and join us to the rightly, acting, who are neither humiliated or tested.
O Allāh, fight the unbelievers who bar your path and who deny Your Messengers. Place You abasement and punishment over them.
O Allah, fight the unbelievers who were given the Book, O Lord of Truth!’”
(Al Adab Al Mufrad 699
