Hadith on Tawakkul: I submit to You, I trust in You

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would say, “O Allah, I have surrendered to You and I have faith in You. I trust in You and I have turned to You. I have contested my opponents for Your sake. O Allah, I seek refuge in Your power from going astray, for there is no God but You. You are the Living who never dies, while jinn and humans die.”

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَالْجِنُّ وَالْإِنْسُ يَمُوتُونَ
