Issues regarding Supplications, their Virtues and Supplications of the Prophet (pbuh)
Ziyad bin `Ilaqah reported: My uncle Qutbah bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (PBUH) used to supplicate: "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min munkaratil-akhlaqi, wal-a`mali, wal-ahwa`i (O Allah! I seek refuge in You from undesirable manners, deeds, and aspirations)."[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
The prayer is recited to seek Allah's Help in shunning bad manners and observing good manners and righteous deeds.
