Allahumma Malik al-mulk, tu’ti al-mulka man tasha’ wa tanzi‘ al-mulka mimman tasha’, wa tu‘izzu man tasha’ wa tudhillu man tasha’, bi yadika al-khayr, innaka ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir, Rahman al-dunya wa’l-akhirati wa rahimahuma, tu‘tihima man tasha’ wa tamna‘u minhuma man tasha’, irhamni rahmatan tughnini biha ‘an rahmati man siwaka
O Allah, Sovereign of all, You give dominion to whomsoever You will and You take dominion away from whomsoever You will, You exalt whomsoever You will and You bring low whomsoever You will. In Your hand is all goodness and You are able to do all things. Most Merciful and Most Compassionate in this world and in the Hereafter, You give them to whomsoever You will and withhold them from whomsoever You will. Bestow mercy upon Me in such a manner that I have no need of the mercy of anyone but You
At-Tabarani narrated in al-Mu‘jam as-Saghir. Classed as hasan by al-Albani in Sahih al-Targhib wa’l-Tarhib (1821).
