Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with You from incapacity,
laziness, cowardice and old age. I seek refuge with You from the trials
of life and death. I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave.'"
Anas said, "I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge with You from concern, sorrow,
incapacity, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, being deeply in debt and
being overpowered by men.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُمَيٌّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الأعداء.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, used to seek refuge "from the trouble of affliction, meeting
with wretchedness, an evil decree, and the gloating of enemies."
