My understanding is: It only benefits a person if he/she knows why/what it means, believes in it, is conscious of it, and the person don't contradicts his/her action with what he/she is saying. The "AND" word dictates the above sentence. Meaning all things must be fulfilled to get the actual reward. (Allahu Alim)
Rabbi yassir wala tu'assir wa tammim bil khair
(O Allah! Make it easy, and do not make it difficult. O Allah! Make it end well)
Allahumma Innaka `Afuwwun Tuhibbul `Afwa fa`fu `Annee
("O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.") Ending with "Anna" would mean "us" instead of "me"
This is one of my favorite one: 21:83 (Partial) Prophet Aiub (A) made this dua when he was sick.
Inni Massaniyad durruh wa anta ar Rahmanur Rahimin"Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful."
