The Prophet’s duʿa on ʿArafah
Supplication on the Day of ʿArafah
لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ لا شريك لهُ، لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحمدُ، وهو على كل شيءٍ قدير
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ʿala kulli shayʾin qadeer.
There is no deity except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent.

ʿAli’s duʿa on ʿArafah
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ، وَأَوْسِعْ لِي مِنَ الرِّزْقِ الْحَلَالِ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي فَسَقَةَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ
Allahumma aʿtiq raqabatee min an-nar, wa awsiʿ lee min ar-rizq-il-halal, wasrif ʿannee fasaqat al-jinni wal-ins.
O Allah, free my neck from the Fire, expand my provision, grant me permissible sustenance, and keep away from me the wicked ones among the jinn and humankind.
