Guidance from The Prophet (saws)
Hadrat Abdullah bin Masud (r.a.) reported: `The Messenger of Allah (saws) used to supplicate: "Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda, wat-tuqa, wal-afafa, wal-ghina (O Allah! I beseech You for guidance, piety, chastity and contentment) ."
Related by Muslim. quoted from Riyad-us-Saliheen (Hadith # 1468)
Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (saws) preferred to make supplications which were short and general in nature, but wholesome and comprehensive in its meanings.
Huda: Guidance towards virtue, ability to do good deeds, and remain steadfast on the Straight Path of Allah Subhanah.
Tuqa: To comply wholeheartedly with the Commands of Allah and to prevent oneself from what the Lord has forbidden is `taqwa' (piety, or the fear of Allah).
Afafa: means prevention from sins and also means evasion from seeking help from others.
Ghina: enough sustenance which makes one independent of all others except Allah Subhanah.

{No son (or offspring or children) did Allâh beget, nor is there any ilâh (god) along with Him; (if there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allâh above all that they attribute to Him!} [Quran, 23:91]
