رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
Rabbana afrigh 'alayna sabran wa tawaffana Muslimin
Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims.
While this du'a was made by the magicians of Pharaoh after they believed, it is widely used in the context of patience in marriage and family life. Marriage requires immense patience — and the greatest reward is to pass through life's trials together and meet Allah as faithful believers.
