Brief Commentary: Health is the first item in this list because its absence affects a person’s ability to worship Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) in addition to affecting his ability to enjoy this worldly life. The other qualities mentioned are all attributes of imaan. Like imaan itself, they can come to us through the blessings of Allah.

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، إِنَّهُ لَا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، [وَلَا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ]، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ

Translation: O Allah, guide me with those whom You have guided, and strengthen me with those whom You have given strength. Take me to Your care with those whom You have taken to Your care. Bless me in what You have given me. Protect me from the evil You have ordained.

You are Blessed, Our Lord, and Exalted.

Supplication for those who are often being praised by others:
Anytime the first Caliph Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq -RadhiAllaahu anhu, would hear a person praising him with goodness, Abu Bakr as-Siddeeq -RadhiAllaahu anhu would say:
اللهم لا تؤاخذني بما يقولون،
O Allah do not take me to task with what they say,
واجعلني خيرًا مما يظنون،
and make me better than what they presume
واغفر لي ما لا يعلمون،
and forgive me for what they do not know.
Complete dua is below:
اللهم لا تؤاخذني بما يقولون، واجعلني خيرًا مما يظنون، واغفر لي ما لا يعلمون،
Transliteration: Allahumma-ja’lni khayran mima yadhunoon wa-ghfir li ma la ya’lamoon wa la tu’akhidhni bi ma yaquloon.
Translation: O Allah do not take me to task with what they say, and make me better than what they presume and forgive me for what they do not know.
Short Commentary:
yadhunnun – dhann is supposition. Notice here that Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) did not say, “ya’lamoon“, “what they know” but rather, what they think about me. He is showing us through the use of this word that what people think is not always true, and supposition can never equal actual knowledge.
tu’akhidhni – aakhadha means to reproach or blame someone. It means to hold someone accountable for something. Abu Bakr RadhiAllaahu anhu is asking that he not be held accountable for what is said about him, because it is not in his control.
Points of Benefit
Being praised is something that even giants struggle with. Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) was the giant of this Ummah, the greatest man after the Prophets, yet he struggled with hearing the praise of others. Struggling with praise does not mean you are weak, rather it means you are human.
Be careful in overpraising others. Sometimes we praise people in an extravagant way, and this only hurts the person more. As the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Make duaa for those who are faced with popularity, fame and praise. It is a great inner struggle for them.Being praised for an action you did secretly for the sake of Allah is a good thing. It was said to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him):

You may think you are benefiting the person but it may only be hurting them more. It is important to be balanced when praising others. The Prophet said:“you are cutting the neck of your brother” [Bukhari 2662]
Once a man was praised by another, so he responded to him and asked him, “Have you seen me while I was angry, and found me forbearing?” The man who praised him said no. He then asked, “Have you traveled with me and saw that I had good character (during travels)?” He said no. Then he asked, “Have you found me trustworthy with regards to fulfilling the trusts?” He said no. The man concluded, “then it is not allowed for you to praise someone if you have not seen his behavior with regards to these situations.”“If it is necessary for any of you to praise someone, then he should say: ‘I think! that he is so and-so‘, if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take his account (as He knows his reality), and none can sanctify anyone before Allah.” [Bukhari]
Make duaa for those who are faced with popularity, fame and praise. It is a great inner struggle for them.Being praised for an action you did secretly for the sake of Allah is a good thing. It was said to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him):
This is not the same as someone acting out of seeking praise or changing their deeds afterward for praise, but this when someone is praised for what they’ve already done such as people finding out they were feeding the poor or praying during the night. If you are praised, then be careful not to let praise and self-admiration overcome you. Praise makes people content with their deeds so they do not worship or do good as much because they are happy with their situation.What is your opinion about the person who has done good deeds and the people praise him? He said: It is glad tidings for a believer (which he has received in this world). [Saheeh Muslim]

Points of Benefit
“Set right for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) told Mu’adh (radi Allahu anhu),
Islam is the most important aspect of our life. Islam is everyday. It is our lifestyle. Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala addresses the believers by saying:“Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar and its peak?” I said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “The head of the matter is Islam.” [at-Tirmidhi]
“Set right for me the affairs of my world wherein is my living.”“Believers! Enter completely into Islam.” [Quran 2:208]
The Prophet recognized the importance of the worldly life. As Muslims, we do not remove ourselves completely from this world, rather we take our sustenance from the dunya but at the same time, our focus and goal is working for the hereafter.
“Set right for me my Hereafter to which is my return.”
Paradise is our home. When the believers enter Paradise and the Angels greet them, they will say:
On the other hand, Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala says about the inhabitants of the Fire:“Excellent indeed is the final home!” [Quran 13:24]
“Make the life for me (a source) of abundance for every good.”“for them is the unhappy (evil) home.” [Quran 13:25]
As long as the righteous believer lives on this earth, his good deeds increase.
Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) says about this hadith, “When someone lives a long life in obedience to Allah, their rank in the hereafter is augmented because every good deed they do brings them closer to Allah. Only Allah is in control of how long we live, but there are certain deeds that lengthen one’s life such as joining ties of the womb. For some people, a longer life is not good for them because it only increases them in sin. This is why we never ask Allah for a longer life only, rather we say:The Prophet said: “The best of people is the one who lives a long life and whose actions are good.”[at-Tirmidhi]
“Make my death a source of comfort for me protecting me against every evil.”“O Allah grant us a long life in your obedience and worship.” [Sharh Riyad as-Saliheen, 11/104]
Death is a relief (rāḥah) for the believer.
How can death be a relief when we all fear it? A’ishah asked a similar question to the Prophet and he said:A funeral procession passed by Allah’s Messenger who said, “relieved (mustarīḥ) or relieving (mustarāḥ)?” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is relieved and relieving?” He said, “A believer is relieved (by death) from the troubles and hardships of the world and leaves for the Mercy of Allah, while (the death of) a wicked person relieves the people, the land, the trees, (and) the animals from him.” [Bukhari]
The Angels comfort the believer at the time of their death. Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala says:“when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives the good news of Allah’s pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting with Allah, and Allah loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah’s torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah too, hates the meeting with him.” [Bukhari]
Verily, those who say: “Our Lord is Allah (Alone),” and then they stand firm, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): “Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!” [Quran 41:30]

Reference Hadith:
Maqil bin Yasar (ra) said that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with Abu Bakr (ra). He said, "O Abu Bakr, polytheism (The inconspicuous Shirk could be better translation) enters your people more quietly (secretly) than the movement of ants." Abu Bakr asked, "Is there a kind of polytheism besides associating anything with Allah?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said," By him who has my life in his power, (polytheism) is more concealed than the movement of ants. Shall I not teach you something which if you say will eliminate minor or major shirk (polytheism)?" He then said, "Say `O Allah! I seek refuge in you lest I associate anything with you while I know it, and I seek your forgiveness for what I do not know.’"

Pay special attention to the word I wrote in green text. Shirk Khafi is more concealed than the movement of black ants in pitch darkness. May Allah save us from all type of shirk. Ameen!
Shirk Al-Khafi may lead a person into questioning the Decree of Allah, and falling into sin. This can happen especially when faced with loss – be it the loss of a loved one or loss of wealth or status, which may also lead to becoming angry with Allah or worse, turning away from Allah altogether – May Allah protect us from that which displeases Him. Ameen!
It is therefore incumbent upon us as Muslims to purify our intentions on a daily basis, and remind ourselves that the tests and trials in life that we are faced with were already written for us. And what has happened in the past cannot be changed by thinking “had we done so and so..”. But rather, turn instead to Allah and learn lessons from our experiences and thank Allah and make Dua that through these trials, He makes us Stronger and Better Muslims in this life, to earn a greater reward in the Hereafter.
Transliteration: allaahumma innee a‛oodhu bika an ushrika bika wa ana a‛lamu, wa astaghfiruka li maa laa a‛lam
Translation: O Allah, I seek refuge with You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly.
Benefit: Eliminates minor and major shirk from our hearts
Reference Hadith:
Maqil bin Yasar (ra) said that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with Abu Bakr (ra). He said, "O Abu Bakr, polytheism (The inconspicuous Shirk could be better translation) enters your people more quietly (secretly) than the movement of ants." Abu Bakr asked, "Is there a kind of polytheism besides associating anything with Allah?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said," By him who has my life in his power, (polytheism) is more concealed than the movement of ants. Shall I not teach you something which if you say will eliminate minor or major shirk (polytheism)?" He then said, "Say `O Allah! I seek refuge in you lest I associate anything with you while I know it, and I seek your forgiveness for what I do not know.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ النَّرْسِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَعْقِلَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ يَقُولُ: انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، لَلشِّرْكُ فِيكُمْ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَهَلِ الشِّرْكُ إِلاَّ مَنْ جَعَلَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَلشِّرْكُ أَخْفَى مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ، أَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا قُلْتَهُ ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ قَلِيلُهُ وَكَثِيرُهُ؟ قَالَ: قُلِ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ.

Pay special attention to the word I wrote in green text. Shirk Khafi is more concealed than the movement of black ants in pitch darkness. May Allah save us from all type of shirk. Ameen!
Shirk Al-Khafi may lead a person into questioning the Decree of Allah, and falling into sin. This can happen especially when faced with loss – be it the loss of a loved one or loss of wealth or status, which may also lead to becoming angry with Allah or worse, turning away from Allah altogether – May Allah protect us from that which displeases Him. Ameen!
