Seeking Refuge in Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sought refuge in Allah from weakness, laziness, cowardice, old age, the punishment of the grave and the trials of life and death.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ، سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about seeking refuge in Allah from various difficulties that one may face in life. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to seek refuge with Allah from weaknesses such as laziness or cowardice which can prevent us from doing good deeds. He also taught us to seek refuge with Him from old age which can bring physical and mental decline as well as difficulty performing religious obligations. Additionally, he taught us to seek refuge with Him from the punishment of the grave which is a trial that all people will face after death before entering Paradise or Hellfire. Lastly, he taught us to seek refuge with Him from the trials of life and death which are tests that all people must go through during their lifetime on earth until they die. All these teachings remind us how important it is for believers to rely on Allah for protection against any harm or difficulty they may encounter throughout their lives.
