In prayer

A prayer someone asked for and could use

Five things, all of them his own.

اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَلِسَانِي وَقَلْبِي

Allāhumma ʿāfinī min sharri samʿī wa baṣarī wa lisānī wa qalbī

“O Allah, keep me safe from the evil of my hearing, my sight, my tongue and my heart.”

Where this comes from

He said: teach me a supplication I can benefit from. Not one about enemies, or debt, or illness. Every item on the list is a part of himself he already owns and cannot put down.

The full narration

It was narrated from Shutair bin Shakal bin Humaid, that his father said:"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me a supplication from which I may benefit.' He said: 'Say: Allahumma 'afini min sharri sam'i, wa basari, wa lisani, wa qalbi, wa sharri mani (O Allah, protect me from the evil of my hearing, my seeing, my tongue and my heart, and the evil of my sperm.)" - Meaning his sexual organ
