عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:
" اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ: مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ ". رَوَاهُ أحمدُ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وابنُ مَاجَه
وَرَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو. وَالنَّسَائِيّ عَنْهُمَا

Narrated Abu Huraira said that God’s messenger used to say, “O God, I seek refuge in Thee from the four things:

knowledge which does not profit, a heart which is not submissive, an appetite which is insatiable, and a supplication which is not heard.”
