The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) used to make a number of supplications related to
good character.
"O Allah, guide me to good character, none guides to good character but
You..." (Muslim)
"O Allah, I seek refuge in you from bad character, deeds and desires."
(Tirmidhee)
"O Allah, You perfectly created me, so perfect my character." (Ahmad)
"O Allah, I seek refuge in you from disability and laziness; from cowardice
and avarice; from decrepitude and harshness; from negligence and
impoverishment, from lowness and humiliation. And I seek refuge in You from
poverty and disbelief; from sinfulness, disunity and hypocrisy; from
notability and Riya (showing off)..." (Ahmad, Maalik, Bazaar, Haithami and
Ibn Abd al-Barr authenticated it)
