O Allah, make him weak against us as You made him weak against Your mercy," and so on. It is said that Imam Muhammad ibn Wasa' used to supplicate to Allah with this supplication every day, so Satan came to him and said, "O Imam, I pledge to you that I will never whisper to you, I will not come to you, and I will not command you to sin, but on the condition that you do not supplicate to Allah with this supplication."
