Seeking Refuge in Allah

SUMMARY: Seeking refuge in Allah from helplessness, indolence, cowardice, senility, miserliness and the torment of the grave and the trials of life and death.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 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.
