Tariq bin Ashyam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever a man entered the fold of Islam, the Prophet (PBUH) would show him how to perform Salat and then direct him to supplicate: -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Allahumm-aghfir li, warhamni, wa-hdini, wa `afini, warzuqni ------------------------------------------------------------------- (O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, guard me against harm and provide me with sustenance and salvation).''' [Muslim].
