يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ
Transliteration
Yaa Hayyu yaa Qayyoom, bi rahmatika astagheeth, aslih lee sha'nee kullah, wa laa takilnee ilaa nafsee tarfata 'ayn.
Meaning in English
O The Ever Living, The Sustainer of all; I seek assistance through Your mercy. Rectify all of my affairs and do not entrust me to myself for the blink of an eye.
Virtue and source
Anas b. Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), "What is preventing you from (doing) what I am advising you; that you say [the above] in the morning and evening?" (Nasaa'i in 'Amal al-Yawm wa al-Laylah 570)
How to read this dhikr
Entrust All Your Matters to Allah is part of the morning azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the morning. The best time is after Fajr, before the sun rises; if you miss that window it can still be read later in the morning, before Dhuhr.
It is read once. Say it slowly, understanding the meaning, rather than rushing to the next one.
The same dhikr is also part of the evening azkar.
