Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was given 'Jawami al-Kalim' (the most comprehensive speech). Among the many duas he recited, the prayer asking for goodness in both worlds was his most frequent, as reported in Sahih al-Bukhari.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar.
Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
