Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3490

Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “It used to be from the supplication of Dawud that he would say: ‘O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for the action that will cause me to attain Your love, O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water (Allāhumma innī as’aluka ḥubbaka wa ḥubba man yuḥibbuka wal-ʿamalalladhī yuballighunī ḥubbak. Allāhummajʿal ḥubbaka aḥabba ilaiyya min nafsī, wa ahlī wa minal-mā’il-bārid) He said: “And when the Prophet ﷺ would mention Dawud, he would narrate about him, saying: “He was the best in worship out of all men.”
