1467.  Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The supplication most often recited by the Prophet (PBUH) was: "Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan, wa fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar (O our Rubb! give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the punishment of the Fire).'''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In the narration of Muslim it is added that whenever Anas supplicated, he used to beseech Allah with this Du`a.

Commentary: It is desirable to recite this Du`a which is mentioned in the Qur'an (2:201) and which comprehends all that is good both in this life and the Hereafter. The Prophet (PBUH) made it a habit to recite this Du`a, and the Companions were eager to follow him in all his words and actions.

[1467] وعن أنس قَالَ : كَانَ أكثرُ دعاءِ النبيّ : « اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا في الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ، وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً ، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ » . متفق عَلَيْهِ .زاد مسلم في روايتهِ قَالَ : وَكَانَ أَنَسٌ إِذَا أرادَ أنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدَعْوَةٍ دَعَا بِهَا ، وَإِذَا أرادَ أنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدُعَاءٍ دَعَا بِهَا فِيهِ . يدخل في الحسنة ، كل خير ديني ودنيوي ، وصرف كل شر .
