  اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ

  Allāhumma akthir mālahū wa waladah, wa bārik lahū fīmā aʿtaytah.

  O Allah, increase his wealth and his children, and bless him in what You have given him. (The Prophet's ﷺ supplication for Anas at his mother's request – a dua for a child or family member.)
