اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof.

What It Means: Reading in Context
This request is part of a longer supplication reported by Zaid ibn Arqam. The surrounding prayer asks for protection from several harms and, later, from knowledge without benefit, an unresponsive heart, a discontented soul and an unanswered supplication. Only the selected request for righteousness and purification is quoted here. This entry comes from Sahih Muslim 2722. The displayed text is an excerpt, not the complete narration. Follow the source link to read the narrator, full wording and in-book reference together. A hadith number identifies the source used here; numbering systems can differ between editions. Being able to inspect a source is important when a short statement is shared outside its original setting. The accompanying reflection is an editorial prompt for everyday conduct. It is not part of the hadith and does not replace explanation from qualified scholarship. Avoid extending a short reminder into a religious ruling that the entry itself does not establish.
