اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَخْلَصْتُ بِانْقِطَاعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَقْبَلْتُ بِكُلِّي عَلَيْكَ وَ صَرَفْتُ وَجْهِي عَمَّنْ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى رِفْدِكَ وَ قَلَبْتُ مَسْأَلَتِي عَمَّنْ لَمْ يَسْتَغْنِ عَنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ طَلَبَ الْمُحْتَاجِ إِلَى الْمُحْتَاجِ سَفَهٌ مِنْ رَأْيِهِ وَ ضَلَّةٌ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ . فَكَمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ أُنَاسٍ طَلَبُوا الْعِزَّ بِغَيْرِكَ فَذَلُّوا ، وَ رَامُوا الثَّرْوَةَ مِنْ سِوَاكَ فَافْتَقَرُوا، وَ حَاوَلُوا الِارْتِفَاعَ فَاتَّضَعُوا، فَصَحَّ بِمُعَايَنَةِ أَمْثَالِهِمْ حَازِمٌ وَفَّقَهُ اعْتِبَارُهُ ، وَ أَرْشَدَهُ إِلَى طَرِيقِ صَوَابِهِ اخْتِيَارُهُ فَأَنْتَ يَا مَوْلَايَ دُونَ كُلِّ مَسْئُولٍ مَوْضِعُ مَسْأَلَتِي ، وَ دُونَ كُلِّ مَطْلُوبٍ إِلَيْهِ وَلِيُّ حَاجَتِي
O God, I showed sincerity by cutting myself off from everything but Thee. I approached Thee with my whole self. I averted my face from everyone who needs Thy support. I ceased to ask from any who cannot do without Thy bounty. I saw that the needy who seeks from the needy is foolish in his opinion, and misguided in his intellect. How many people have I seen, my God, who sought exaltation through other than Thee and were abased, who wanted wealth from someone else and became poor, who tried to rise high and fell down low! Observing the likes of them corrects a prudent man; his taking heed gives him success; his choosing the best guides him to the path of right. So Thou, my Master, art the object of my asking to the exclusion of all those who are asked and the patron of my need to the exclusion of all those from whom requests are made.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ داخِرِينَ قَالَ هُوَ الدُّعَاءُ وَأَفْضَلُ الْعِبَادَةِ الدُّعَاءُ قُلْتُ إِنَّ إِبْراهِيمَ لأوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ قَالَ الأوَّاهُ هُوَ الدَّعَّاءُ.
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurara from abu Ja’far ((عليه السلام).) who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘Those who consider themselves above the need to worship Me will soon go to hell in disgrace.’ (40:60) “The Imam said, ‘This is a reference to prayer. The best form of worship is supplication (pleading before Allah for help).’ I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is meant by: Ibrahim is la awwahu, prayerful and forbearing?’ The Imam said, ‘It means pleading for help before Allah.’”
In this above narration it is This Dua is the best form of worship
Dua is an act of worship and worship is only due to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى).
