Riyad as-Salihin 1421 (Book 15, Hadith 14) #37910
Seeking Refuge with Allah

SUMMARY: Seeking refuge with Allah from cowardice, miserliness, being sent back to a feeble age, and the trials of this life and those of the grave.

Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah used to seek (Allah's) protection after prayers in these words: "Alla-humma inni a'udhu bika minal-jubni wal- bukhl, wa a'udhu bika min an uradda ila ardhalil-'umur, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-dunya, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from cowardice, miserliness and from being sent back to a feeble age; and, seek refuge with You from the trials of this life and those of the grave)". Al- Bukhari.
وعن سعد بن أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله كان يتعوذ دبر الصلوات بهؤلاء الكلمات‏:‏ ‏"‏اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الجبن والبخل، وأعوذ بك من أن أرد إلى أرذل العمر وأعوذ بك من فتنة الدنيا، وأعوذ بك من فتنة القبر” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about seeking protection from Allah after prayers. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to seek refuge in Allah from cowardice, miserliness, being sent back to a feeble age and the trials of this life and those of the grave. Cowardice is when one lacks courage or bravery in facing danger or difficulty while miserliness is an excessive desire for wealth or material possessions. We should also seek protection from being sent back to a feeble age which means that we should not be too old or weak to do anything productive in our lives. Lastly, we should ask for protection against all kinds of trials that come our way such as sicknesses, financial problems etc., both in this world and in the hereafter. This hadith teaches us that we must always turn towards Allah for help no matter what kind of situation we are facing because He alone can protect us from all harm.
