For beneficial knowledge and good provision

ٱللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا

Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan

O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision, and accepted deeds.

Source: Sunan Ibn Majah 925

What this supplication is

Asking for beneficial knowledge, wholesome provision and accepted deeds in one breath. Deceptively simple, it requests the three things that make a life: learning that helps, halal provision, and deeds that are received. Its narration's chain is discussed by scholars, and it is widely taught after prayer as a recommended supplication.

When to recite it

Often recited after prayers; anytime seeking knowledge, provision or acceptance.

Scholarly note· Very widely used after prayer; scholars note its chain is discussed, and it is a recommended supplication rather than a rigorously authenticated one.

Duas are a mercy in themselves — sincerity of heart matters more than eloquence. For a personal religious ruling about this supplication or your circumstances, consult a qualified scholar.
