اَللّٰهُمَّ اَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوْبِنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلاَمِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوْرِ، وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِىْ أَسْمَاعِنَا، وَأَبْصَارِنَا، وَقُلُوْبِنَا، وَأَزْوَاجِنَا، وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا، وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ اِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ

Verily, we have heard the call of one (Muhammad p.b.u.h.) calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. *Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and remit from us our evil deeds, and make us die in the state of righteousness along with Al-Abraar (those who are obedient to Allah and follow strictly His Orders). *Our Lord!

The Bedouins Du’a
Anas Ibn Maalik, Allaah be pleased with him, reported The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) passed by a Bedouin man and he was making Dua in his Salah. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) liked it and stopped to listen to him.
And he heard the man saying:
يا من لا تراه العيون
Ya Man La Tarahul ‘Uyun
O the One who eyes cannot behold in this world
ولا تخالطه الظنون
Wa La Tukhalituhud-Dhunun
and minds cannot comprehend His greatness
ولا يصفه الواصفون
Wa La Yasifuhul Waasifun
and people cannot praise Him as he deserves to be praised
ولا تغيره الحوادث
Wa La Yughayyiruhul Hawadith
and situations do not change him
ولا يخشى الدوائر
Wa La Yakhshad-Dawa’ir
and He does not fear the passing of time
يعلم مثاقيل الجبال
Ya’lamu Mathaqeelal Jibaal
He knows the exact weight of the mountains
ومكاييل البحار
Wa Maka’eelal Bihaar
And the volume of the oceans
وعدد قطر الأمطار
Wa Adada Qatril Amtar
And the number of drops of rain
وعدد ورق الأشجار
Wa Adada Waraqil Ashjaar
And the number of leaves on trees
وعدد ما أظلم عليه الليل وأشرق عليه النهار
Wa Adada Ma Udhlima Alayhil Layl Wa Ashraqa Alayhin-Nahar
And those things that the day illuminates with its light and the night hides in its darkness
ولا تواري منه سماء سماء، ولا أرض أرضاً
Wa La Tuwari Minhu Sama’un Sama’a, Wa La Ardun Arda’
And one sky cannot shield another sky, and no ground can shield another layer of ground (from Him)
ولا بحر ما في قعره
Wa La Bahrun Ma Fi Qa’rihi
And the ocean (in its depths and darkness) cannot hide anything (from Him)
ولا جبل ما في وعره
Wa La Jabalun Ma Fi Wa’rihi
And a mountain cannot (in its deepest darkest cave) hide anything (from Him)
اجعل خير عمري آخره
ij’al khair Umri Aakhirah
Make the best part of my life the last part of it
وخير عملي خواتيمه
Wa Khaira Amali Khawatimah
and the best of my actions the last of them
وخير أيامي يوم ألقاك فيه
Wa Khaira Ayyami Yowma Alqaak feeh
and the best of my days, the day I meet You.​

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) sent someone to fetch him saying “ When he finishes praying bring him to me.” The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) had been given some gold as a gift, so when the bedouin came he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) gave it to him. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “O bedouin, where are you from?” He replied “From Bani ‘Amir bin Sasa’ah, O Messenger of Allah”.
He (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said “Do you know why I gave you this gold?” He said: “because of the lineage between us O Messenger of Allah”. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
“Lineage has its rights but I gave you this gold because of your wonderful praising of Allah”.
(Al-Mu’jamul-Awsat of Tabarani, Hadith: 9448)
Hafiz Haythami (rahimahullah) said the narrators in this chain are authentic. (See: Majma’uz Zawaid vol.10 p.158 )

Transliteration: Rabbana Hablana min azwaajina wadhurriy-yatina, qurrata 'ayioni wa-jalna lil-muttaqeena Imaama
Interpretation of the meaning: O our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa (God consciousness).
Reference: Surah Al-Furqan - 25:74
This dua can be divided into two parts:
First part " O Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes"

This means those who ask Allah to bring forth from their loins offspring who will obey Him and worship Him and not associate anything in worship with Him. Ibn `Abbas Radi Allahu anhu said:
This means (offspring) who will strive to obey Allah and bring them joy in this world and the Hereafter.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Nufayr said:
We sat with Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad one day, and a man passed by and said, “How blessed are these two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah ! Would that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed.
Al-Miqdad got angry, and I was surprised, because the man had not said anything but good. Then he turned to him and said, “What makes a man wish to be present when Allah had caused him to be absent, and he does not know how he would have behaved if he had been there. By Allah, there are people who saw the Messenger of Allah , and Allah will throw them on their faces in Hell because they did not accept him or believe in him. Are you not grateful that Allah brought you forth from your mothers’ wombs believing in your Lord and in what your Prophet brought, and that the test went to others and not to you. Allah sent His Prophet during the most difficult time that any Prophet was ever sent, after a long period of ignorance, when the people could see no better religion than the worship of idols, and he brought the Criterion which distinguishes truth from falsehood and which would separate a father from his son. A man would realize that his father, son or brother was a disbeliever, and since Allah had opened his heart to Faith, he knew that if his relative died he would go to Hell, so he could not rest knowing that his loved one was in the Fire.
This is what Allah referred to in this Ayah.
Its chain of narrators is Sahih, although they did not report it.

Explaining second part of the dua: "and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa."

They wanted their worship to be connected to the worship of their children and offspring, and their guidance to go beyond themselves and benefit others. This would be more rewarding and a better end, as it was recorded in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:
When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased).

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
