Hisn al-Muslim 25
((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْماً نافِعاً، وَرِزْقاً طَيِّباً، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً)) بَعْدَ السّلامِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الفَجْرِ.
allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds.

IslamicInfo presents the source information available in its current verified database and does not issue religious rulings.
Three things are asked for in one sentence, and each carries a qualifier that limits it. Knowledge is not requested plainly but as beneficial knowledge. Provision is asked for as good provision. Deeds are asked for as accepted deeds. Nothing is sought without its adjective, so in each case what is wanted is a particular kind of the thing rather than the thing itself.
The chapter places these words after the prayer is completed.
The three qualifiers carry the weight. Knowledge, provision and deeds could each be had without being beneficial, good or accepted, and the wording asks past all three.
