"عَنْ عِمْرَان بن حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَالَ لأَبِيهِ حصين: كَمْ تَعبدُ الْيَوْمَ إلَهًا؟ قَالَ: سَبْعَةٌ، سِتَّةٌ فِى الأَرْضِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ: أَيُّهُم تعِدُّ لِرَغْبَتِكَ وَرَهْبَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: الَّذِى فِى السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ يَا حُصَيْنُ: إِنْ أَسْلَمْت عَلَمتُكَّ كَلِمَتَين يَنْفَعَانكَ فَأَسْلَمَ حُصَيْنٌ، فَأتى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَال يَا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ عَلِّمْنِى الكَلِمَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ وَعَدْتَنِى، قَالَ: قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ ألْهِمْنِى رُشْدِى، وَقِنِى شَرَّ نَفْسِى، وَفِى لَفْظٍ وأَعِذْنِى مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِى".

"From Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet ﷺ said to his father Husayn: 'How many gods do you worship today?' He said: 'Seven: six on the earth and one in the heaven.' He said: 'Which of them do you count on for your hope and your fear?' He said: 'The one in the heaven.' He said: 'O Husayn, if you embrace Islam I will teach you two words that will benefit you.' So Husayn embraced Islam. Then he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, teach me the two words you promised me.' He said: 'Say: Allahumma alhimni rushdi, wa qini sharra nafsi (O Allah, inspire me with my right guidance, and protect me from the evil of my soul).' In another wording: 'wa a'idhni min sharri nafsi (and protect me from the evil of my soul).'"
