La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minaz-zalimin.

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَىٰ نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allahumma rahmataka arju fala takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ayn, wa aslih li sha'ni kullahu, la ilaha illa anta.

Hadith on Solitude and Devotion

وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Wa rajulun dhakarallaha khaliyan fafadat 'aynāhu.

"...and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."

Hadith on Patience and Gratitude

عَجَبًا لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرٌ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ، إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ

'Ajaban li amril-mu'min, inna amrahu kullahu lahu khayr, wa laysa dhalika li ahadin illa lil-mu'min. In asabathu sarra'u shakara fakana khayran lahu, wa in asabathu darra'u sabara fakana khayran lahu.

"How wonderful is the case of the believer; there is good for him in everything and this is not the case with anyone except a believer. If prosperity comes to him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is good for him."

(Sahih Muslim)
