A du’a asking Allah to make one’s sight, silence and speech a means of attaining reward

Who is this du’a attributed to?

اللهم اجعل نظري عبرا وصمتي تفكرا ومنطقي ذكرا

Answer:

Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah) has recorded this on the authority of Abu Idris Al Khawlani (rahimahullah), a Tabi’i, who reports this as the du’a of an unnamed Yemeni.

(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah: 30212, 36521 and Hilyatul Awliya, vol. 5 pg. 122)

Translation

O Allah! Make my sight/vision one of taking lesson, my silence a means of meditation/pondering and my speech remembrance [dhikr].

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
