اَحْسِبُ فُلَانًا وَاللّٰهُ حَسِيْبُهٗ وَلَا اُزَكِّيْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اَحَدًا اَحْسِبُهٗ كَذَا وَكَذَا

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِيْ بِمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ، وَاغْفِرْ لِيْ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ، وَاجْعَلْنِيْ خَيْرًا مِّمَّا يَظُّنُّوْنَ

Allaahumma laa tu'aakhidhnee bimaa yaqooloon, waghfir lee maa laa ya'lamoon waj'alnee khayram-mimmaa yadhunnoon

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.
