One of the most comprehensive general duas, gathering every form of good in this life and the next, this supplication was taught by the Prophet ﷺ to Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her. In it, a Muslim asks Allah for all good, near and far, and seeks refuge from all evil, near and far.
Allahumma inni as'aluka minal-khayri kullihi 'ajilihi wa ajilih, ma 'alimtu minhu wa ma lam a'lam, wa a'oodhu bika minash-sharri kullihi 'ajilihi wa ajilih, ma 'alimtu minhu wa ma lam a'lam, allahumma inni as'aluka min khayri ma sa'alaka 'abduka wa nabiyyuk, wa a'oodhu bika min sharri ma 'adha bihi 'abduka wa nabiyyuk, allahumma inni as'alukal-jannata wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw 'amal, wa a'oodhu bika minan-nari wa ma qarraba ilayha min qawlin aw 'amal, wa as'aluka an taj'ala kulla qada'in qadaytahu li khayra.
