For guidance, piety, and sufficiency

ٱللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلتُّقَىٰ وَٱلْعَفَافَ وَٱلْغِنَىٰ

Allahumma inni as'alukal-huda wat-tuqa wal-'afafa wal-ghina

O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and sufficiency.

Source: Sahih Muslim 2721

What this supplication is

When to recite it

Daily, as a general supplication; morning and evening.
