What a Muslim should say when he is praised
The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا يَقُولُونَ، وَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ، [وَاجْعَلْنِي خَيْراً مِمَّا يَظُّنُّونَ])).
Allahumma la tu'akhidhnee bima yaqooloon, waghfir lee ma la ya'lamoon, (waj'alnee khayran mimma yazzunnoon).
O Allah, do not call me to account for what they say and forgive me for what they have no knowledge of [and make me better than they imagine].
