حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، صَاحِبِ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَا مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ يَدْعُو بِهَا الْعَبْدُ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ - اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (saas) said: 'There is no supplication that a person can say that is better than: Allahumma inni as'aluka al-mu'afah fid-dunya wal-akhirah (O Allah, I ask You for Al-Mu'afah in this world and in the Hereafter).'

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 3851
This Hadith gives one short dua and describes its great value. The Messenger of Allah said that there is no supplication a person can say that is better than asking Allah for Al-Mu'afah in this world and in the Hereafter. The core topic is well-being and safety from harm. The wording covers both lives, not only comfort in the present. It teaches the believer to ask Allah for protection, ease, and soundness in a wide way. The Hadith does not list every detail of Mu'afah, so the explanation should stay broad. The main point is to make this dua often and to remember both dunya and akhirah when asking Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ask Allah for Mu'afah in this world and the Hereafter.
- Short supplications can carry wide meaning.
- A believer should remember both lives in dua.
- Well-being is a blessing to ask from Allah.
