Is the wording of this supplication (du‘a’) correct, and is it permissible to supplicate with it: “O Allah, O He with Whom deposits are not lost, verily I entrust to Your care my religion, my soul, my home, my family, my wealth, and the ends of my deeds, so protect me with that by which You protect Your righteous servants”?

An-Nasa'i and Ahmad narrated from Qaza'ah that Ibn 'Umar bid him farewell, saying: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Luqman the Wise said: Indeed, when Allah is entrusted with something, He preserves it. And I entrust to Allah your religion, your trust, and the consequences of your deeds. And I bid you farewell.'" Abu Dawud narrated from him with the wording: "I entrust to Allah your religion, your trust, and the consequences of your deeds."

Al-Khattabi said: Trust encompasses family and wealth. Religion was mentioned because travel can sometimes lead to neglecting certain religious matters.

The reported supplication was for bidding farewell to a traveler, and it is legislated to maintain it in this situation. There is no harm in supplicating with it in general circumstances, but it should not be a necessary daily litany unless it is established from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
