Allah says in the Holy Quran:-
“ The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers ـ and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).” Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error…..give us victory over the disbelieving people.” (2:285-286)
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said, “When the following verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ,
“To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is able to do all things”
It was very hard for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah . The Companions came to the Messenger and fell to their knees saying, `O Messenger of Allah! We were asked to perform what we can bear of deeds: the prayer, the fast, Jihad and charity. However, this Ayah was revealed to you, and we cannot bear it.’
The Messenger of Allah said,
“Do you want to repeat what the People of the Two Scriptures before you said, that is, `We hear and we disobey’ Rather, say, `We hear and we obey, and we seek Your forgiveness, O our Lord, and the Return is to You.”
When the people accepted this statement and their tongues recited it, Allah sent down afterwards,
“The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do)the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers ـ and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).”
And they say, “We hear, and we obey” means, we heard Your statement, O our Lord, comprehended and implemented it, and adhered to its implications.
“(We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord” contains a plea and supplication for Allah’s forgiveness, mercy and kindness.
“Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You never break (Your) Promise.”
رَبَّنَا وَآتِنَا مَا وَعَدتَّنَا عَلَىٰ رُسُلِكَ وَلَا تُخْزِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
Rabbanaa wa atinaa maa wa’adtanaa ‘alaa rusulika walaa tukhzinaa yawmal-qiyaamati, innaka laa tukhliful-mee’aad

This dua can be recited for the following purposes.
(“Our Lord! Grant us what You promised unto us through Your Messengers”) for our faith in Your Messengers, or, and this explanation is better; grant us what You promised us by the words of Your Messengers,
(“and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection,”), before all creation,
(“for You never break (Your) Promise.”), for surely, the promise that You conveyed to Your Messengers, which includes us being resurrected before You, shall certainly come to pass.
“My Lord! Grant me the power that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous deeds, which please You, and make righteous for me my offspring; indeed, I turn to You and indeed I am of those who submit”
رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Allah says in the Holy Quran:-
(15. And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she delivers him with hardship. And (the period of) his gestation and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: “My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my offspring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.”)
“My Lord! Grant me the power and ability) meaning, `inspire me.’
(that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You,) meaning, in the future.
(and make my offspring good.) meaning, my offspring and descendants.
(Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.) This contains an instruction for anyone who reaches forty years of age to renew his repentance and turn to Allah with strong resolution.
Allah then says,
(Those are the ones from whom We shall accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise.) meaning, those to whom applies the above description — those who repent to Allah, turn back to Him, and rectify their shortcomings through repentance and seeking forgiveness – those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. Many of their errors will be forgiven and Allah will accept from them a modest amount of deeds.
“My Lord, Help me against the corrupting people.”
رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
Rabbin-surnee ‘alal-qawmil-mufsideen.

Allah says in the Holy Quran:-
(28. And (remember) Lut, when he said to his people: “You commit immoral sins which none has preceded you in (committing) it in all creatures.”) (29. “Verily, you practice sodomy with men, and rob the wayfarer! And practice Al-Munkar in your meetings.”
Allah tells us that His Prophet Lut, peace be upon him, denounced his people for their evil deed and their immoral actions in having intercourse with males, a deed which none of the sons of Adam had ever committed before them. As well as doing this, they also disbelieved in Allah and rejected and opposed His Messenger, they robbed wayfarers, they would lie in wait on the road, kill people and loot their possessions.
Some said that they used to have intercourse with one another in public; this was the view of Mujahid. Some said that they used to compete in passing gas and laughing. This was the view of `A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, and Al-Qasim. Some of them said that they used to make rams fight one another, or organize cockfights. They used to do all of these things, and they were even eviler than that.
”(But his people gave no answer except that they said: “Bring Allah’s torment upon us if you are one of the truthful.”) This is indicative of their disbelief, scornful attitude and stubbornness.
So Allah’s Prophet asked for help against them, and said:
(My Lord! Give me victory over the people who are corrupt.)
When Lut, peace be upon him, asked Allah to help him against them, Allah sent angels to help him.
“Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] rancour towards those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are full of kindness, Most Merciful.”
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Allah says in the Holy Quran:-
(And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking bounties from Allah and (His) good pleasure, and helping Allah and His Messenger. Such are indeed the truthful.) (9. And (it is also for) those who, before them, had homes and had adopted the faith, love those who emigrate to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for that which they have been given, and give them preference over themselves even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own greed, such are they who will be the successful.) (10. And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.)
Here Allah describes three types of believers.These three types are the Muhajirin, the Ansar and those who followed their righteous lead with excellence.
This is the supplication of the third type of believers.The third type are those who followed the Muhajirin and Ansar in their good works, beautiful attributes and who invoke Allah for them in public and secret. This is why Allah, the Exalted said in this honorable Ayah,
(And those who came after them say), meaning, the statement that they utter is,
(Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred), meaning, rage or envy,
Indeed, it is a beautiful way that Imam Malik used this honorable Ayah to declare that the Rafidah who curse the Companions do not have a share in the Fai’ money, because they do not have the good quality of those whom Allah has described here.
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `A’ishah Radi Allahu anha said, “They were commanded to invoke Allah to forgive them, but instead, they cursed them!” She then recited the above ayah.
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us and grant us mercy from Yourself . Indeed, You are the Bestower.”
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Allah said that the people with knowledge supplicate to their Lord,
“Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us.” meaning, do not deviate our hearts from the guidance after You allowed them to acquire it. Do not make us like those who have wickedness in their hearts, those who follow the Mutashabih in the Qur’an. Rather, make us remain firmly on Your straight path and true religion.”
“And grant us from Ladunka” meaning, from You,
“Mercy” with which You make our hearts firm, and increase in our Faith and certainty,
“Truly, You are the Bestower”
Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir recorded that Umm Salamah said that the Prophet Sallal laahoo alaihi wassallam used to supplicate,
“O You Who changes the hearts, make my heart firm on Your religion.”
He then recited,
“Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.’’
