A decision to make

Two angels who ask opposite things each morning

One prays for the giver, the other for the withholder.

مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يُصْبِحُ الْعِبَادُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ مَلَكَانِ يَنْزِلاَنِ فَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا، وَيَقُولُ الآخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا تَلَفًا

Allāhumma aʿṭi munfiqan khalafā.

“O Allah, give the one who spends a replacement. And the other says: O Allah, give the one who withholds destruction.”

Both prayers are made every single morning. Which one lands on you is decided by what you did that day.
