‘O Allah, let the best of my lifetime be its ending’. What a magnificent life this man had lived but he still said that the best of his life should be its ending. He continued, ‘and my best deed be the one that I seal my life with.’ Abū
Abū Bakr mentioned the duʿā’ of Prophet Yusuf (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): Let me die a Muslim and be accompanied by the righteous. (Yusuf 12:101)
He was observed making this one supplication during tawaf, over and over again, and he would not do anything else. Imagine this generous man walking around the Kaʿbah seven times and the only duʿā’ he makes is: ‘O Allah, protect me from the greed of my soul!’
‘if I’m protected from the greed of my soul then I would not steal, I would not commit adultery, and I would not do anything evil’.
