Hadith 2932

Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) asked my father: "O Husayn, how many gods do you worship today?" My father replied: "Seven - six on earth and one in heaven." The Prophet asked: "Which one do you turn to for hope and fear?" He said: "The One in heaven." The Prophet said: "O Husayn, if you accept Islam, I will teach you two phrases that will benefit you." When Husayn accepted Islam, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me those two phrases you promised." The Prophet said: "Say: 'O Allah, inspire me with guidance and protect me from the evil within myself.'"
