Hadith.1412 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib 
would supplicate in the Qunoot of Witr with this supplication:
"O’ Allah (swt), You created me with precise measurement, arrangement, and foresight without any negligence. You brought me out of 'three layers of darkness' by Your strength and power. I attempt to engage with this world, then I turn away from it, and then I leave it behind. You provided me with sustenance and care in it and guided me within it, so blessed is the Lord (azj) and excellent is the Master. O’ the One who honored and elevated me and bestowed upon me Your bounties, I seek refuge in You from the tree of Zaqqum, I seek refuge in You from boiling water (al-Hameem), and I seek refuge in You from a resting place in the Fire, amidst the layers of the Fire, under the shadows of the Fire on the Day of Fire. O’ Lord (azj) of the Fire! O’ Allah (swt), I ask You for a place to rest in Paradise among its rivers, trees, fruits, sweet scents, attendants, and spouses. O’ Allah (swt), I ask You for the best of all good—Your pleasure and Paradise, and I seek refuge in You from the worst of all evil—Your wrath and the Fire. This is the station of one seeking refuge in You from the Fire." (He would repeat this three times).
"O’ Allah (swt), place Your fear throughout my body and make my heart fear You more intensely than it does now. Grant me, in every day and night, a share and portion of deeds dedicated to Your obedience and seeking Your pleasure. O’ Allah (swt), You are the ultimate aim of my efforts, my hope, my requests, and my needs. I ask You, O’ my God, for perfect faith, complete certainty, sincere reliance upon You, and a good opinion of You, my Master. Multiply my good deeds, make my prayers an expression of humility, accept my supplications, approve of my actions, thank my efforts, forgive my sins, and grant me 'radiance and joy' from You. May Allah (swt) bless Muhammad and his family."
