The answer

It was narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, taught her a supplication: "O Allah, I ask You for all good, sooner or later, what I know of it and what I do not know. And I seek refuge in You from all evil, sooner or later, what I know of it and what I do not know. O Allah, I ask You for the best of what Your servant and Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, asked You for, and I seek refuge in You from the evil from which Your servant and Prophet sought refuge. O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and what brings one closer to it of word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and what brings one closer to it of word or deed. And I ask You to make every decree You decree for me good." This supplication is one of the most comprehensive and best supplications, and it is recommended to recite it frequently. It suffices over others and it is permissible to limit oneself to it for one who does not memorize others. However, with the ability to memorize other supplications, it is preferable to vary between them.
