O Allah! Guide me among those whom you have guided right, preserve me with those whom you have preserved, take me for a friend among those whom you have taken for friends. Bless me in that which you have given to me. Keep me safe from the evil you have ordained for you decree and indeed, none decree against you. Surely the person you take for a friend can never be disgraced, and the person you opposed can never be honored. May you be blessed and exalted, O our lord we ask for your forgiveness and turn to you .
[Abu Dawud, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah]
