Prayer for attaining righteousness

The Holy Prophet^sa saw God in a most beautiful manifestation. He said that his Lord had instructed to him to recite this prayer:

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّی أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ بِعِبَادِكَ فِتْنَةً فَاقْبِضْنِى إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ

“O Allah, I beg You to grant me the ability to do good and refrain from evil deeds. Confer the love of the poor on me. When You intend to put people in trials, take control of my soul without putting it in trial.”

(Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi, Kitab Tafsir al-Quran)
