English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to supplicate: “Allahumma inni A’udhu bika minal-ajzi wal-kasali, wal-jubni wal-harami, wal-bukhli, WA A’udhu bika min `adhabil-qabri, wa A’udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat [O Allah! I seek refuge in You from helplessness (to do good), indolence, cowardice, senility, and miserliness; and I seek Your Protection against the torment of the grave and the trials of life and death].” Another narration adds: “wa dala`id-daini wa ghalabatir-rijal (And from the burden of indebtedness and the tyranny of men).”
[Muslim Book 35, Chapter 14, Hadith # 6536]
Lesson: This prayer is also very comprehensive. It is this mischief against which Allah’s Protection has been sought through this prayer.
