7. Book of Heart Softeners
٧۔ كِتَابُ الرَّقَائِقِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ الْأَرْبَعِ الَّتِي يُسْتَحَقُّ الِاسْتِعَاذَةُ مِنْهَا بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us this supplication as he taught us the surah from the Qur'an. He would say: O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge from You from the trails of Al-Masihid-Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1542)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُهُمُ السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ
[Machine] While we were at the wall of Bani Najjar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he was riding a mule, and his mule stumbled. Suddenly, there were graves in the wall. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who knows these graves?" A man said, "I do, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who are they?" The man replied, "They died in shirk (polytheism)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying them, I would ask Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave that I hear. Verily, this Ummah (nation) is tested in their graves." Then he turned his face towards us and said, "Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the Hellfire, the punishment of the grave, and seek refuge with Allah from the trials, whether they appear or remain hidden. Seek refuge with Allah from the deception of the Dajjal (the False Messiah)."
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي حَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَحَادَتْ بِهِ بَغْلَتُهُ فَإِذَا فِي الْحَائِطِ أَقْبُرٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ يَعْرِفُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَقْبُرَ؟ » فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَا هُمْ؟ » قَالَ مَاتُوا فِي الشِّرْكِ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ الَّذِي أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا» ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْتَعِيذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْهُ
[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave, and I have not heard anyone else say, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything different from that.'"
«سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ» وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَيْرَهَا
ذِكْرُ الْخِصَالِ الَّتِي يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ فِي التَّعَوُّذِ أَنْ يَقْرِنَهَا إِلَى مَا ذَكَرْنَا قَبْلُ
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ never prayed four or two units of prayer without me hearing him say, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Hellfire, from the punishment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of living and dying."
مَا صَلَّى نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعًا أَوِ اثْنَتَيْنِ إِلَّا سَمِعْتُهُ يَدْعُو «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ وَسُوءِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ الَّذِي يُطْغِي وَالذُّلِّ الَّذِي يُفْسِدُ الدِّينَ
the Messenger of Allah (saas) said: "Seek refuge with Allah from poverty, insufficiency and humiliation, and from wronging (others) and being wronged.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3842)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَالذِّلَّةِ وَأَنْ تَظْلِمَ أَوْ تُظْلَمَ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ
The Prophet ﷺ used to teach us these words as he used to teach us the Book (Qur'an): "O Allah! seek refuge with You from miserliness, and seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with You from being brought back to (senile) geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the affliction of the world and from the punishment in the Hereafter." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6390)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ كَمَا تُعَلَّمُ الْكِتَابَةُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ عِنْدَ نَهِيقِ الْحَمِيرِ
[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, 'When you hear the crowing of a rooster, it has seen an angel, so ask Allah for His blessings and turn your attention towards Him. And when you hear the braying of a donkey, it has seen a devil, so seek refuge in Allah from the evil it has seen.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ أَصْوَاتَ الدِّيَكَةِ فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَلَكًا فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ وَارْغَبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُهَاقَ الْحَمِيرِ فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ شَيْطَانًا فَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا رَأَتْ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْ شَرِّ الرِّيَاحِ إِذَا هَبَّتْ
[Machine] The translation of the given text is: "If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw dust or wind in the sky, he sought refuge in Allah from its harm. And when it rained, he said, 'O Allah, make it a beneficial rain.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَى فِي السَّمَاءِ غُبَارًا أَوْ رِيحًا تَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهِ فَإِذَا أَمْطَرَتْ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبًا نَافِعًا»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ إِذَا هَبَّتْ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The wind comes from Allah's mercy. Salamah's version has: It is Allah's mercy; it (sometimes) brings blessing and (sometimes) brings punishment. So when you see it, do not revile it, but ask Allah for some of its good, and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5097)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الرِّيحُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَتَأْتِي بِالْعَذَابِ فَلَا تَسُبُّوهَا وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ خَيْرَهَا وَاسْتَعِيذُوا مِنْ شَرِّهَا»
ذِكْرُ مَا يَقُولُ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ اشْتِدَادِ الرِّيَاحِ إِذَا هَبَّتْ
[Machine] I heard Salamah bin Al-Akwa' raising it (his voice) to the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Whenever the wind blew strongly, he used to say, 'O Allah! Let it (the rain) be a beneficial rain cloud, not a harmful one.'
سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا اشْتَدَّتِ الرِّيحُ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ لَقْحًا لَا عَقِيمًا»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْكَسَلِ فِي الطَّاعَاتِ وَالْهَرَمِ الْقَاطِعِ عَنْهَا
"The Prophet [SAW] used to say in his supplication: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kasali, wal-harami, wal-jubni, wal-bukhli, wa fitnatid-dajjali, wa 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness, old age, cowardice, miserliness, the tribulation of the Dajjal and the torment of the grave.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5451)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَشَرِّ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
The Messenger of Allah [SAW] used to say: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-'ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-harami, 'adhabil-qabr wa fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, and miserliness and old age, and the torment of the grave, and the trials of life and death.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5448)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَفِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الْهَرَمِ الَّذِي يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْهُ
[Machine] From the Prophet Muhammadﷺ that he used to say these words: "I seek refuge with Allah from returning to the worst of old age, and I seek refuge with Allah from miserliness and cowardice, and I seek refuge with Allah from the trials of the heart and the oppression of men."
عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ وَبَغْيِ الرِّجَالِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُعَوِّذُ الْمَرْءُ بِهِ وَلَدَهُ وَوَلَدَ وَلَدِهِ عِنْدَ شَيْءٍ يَخَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْهُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge for Hasan and Husain, saying, "I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allah from every devil, harmful thing, and evil eye." Then he ﷺ would say, "Ibrahim ﷺ used to seek refuge for his sons, Ismail and Ishaq, with it."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعَوِّذُ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا «أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ﷺ «كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُعَوِّذُ بِهِ ابْنَيْهِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek refuge for Hassan and Husain, saying, "I seek refuge for you two in the perfect words of Allah, from every devil, harmful thing, and every envious eye." And he ﷺ used to say, "Your father used to seek refuge for Isma'il and Ishaq using them."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعَوِّذُ حَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا «أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ ﷺ «كَانَ أَبُوكُمَا يُعَوِّذُ بِهِمَا إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ»
ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِحْبَابِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ سُؤَالَ رَبِّهِ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ وَتَعَوُّذَهُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ فِي أَيَّامِهِ وَلَيَالِيهِ
“Whoever asks for Paradise, three times, Paradise will say: “O Allah, admit him to Paradise.” And whoever asked to be saved from Hell, three times, Hell will say: “O Allah, save him from Hell.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4340)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِلَّا قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا اسْتَجَارَ مُسْلِمٌ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِلَّا قَالَتِ النَّارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهُ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي لَا تَنْفَعُ , وَمِنَ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي لَا تَشْبَعُ
[Machine] The English translation of the given Arabic sentence is:
"From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a soul that is never satisfied, and I seek refuge in You from a prayer that is of no benefit, and I seek refuge in You from a supplication that is not heard, and I seek refuge in You from a heart that does not humble.'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يَتَعَوَّذُ الْمَرْءُ بِهِ مِنْ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ
The Prophet [SAW] used to seek refuge from being destined to an evil end, from his enemies rejoicing in his misfortune, from being overtaken by destruction and from the difficult moment of a calamity. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5492)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَدَرْكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ» *
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْ حُدُوثِ الْعَاهَاتِ بِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from leprosy, madness, elephantiasis, and evil diseases." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1554)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَسَيِّئِ الْأَسْقَامِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْ شَرِّ حَيَاتِهِ وَمَمَاتِهِ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he used to seek refuge from the evil of life and death, the torment of the grave, and the mischief of the false messiah (Antichrist).
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَحْيَا الَّذِي يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ التَّعَوُّذُ مِنْهُ الْفِتْنَةُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَمَاتُ
[Machine] The translation of the Arabic sentence into English is as follows:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, the punishment of the Hellfire, and from the evil trials of life and death.'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ»
ذِكْرُ التَّعَوُّذِ الَّذِي يُعَاذُ الْإِنْسَانُ مِنْهُ مِنْ نَهْشِ الْهَوَامِّ
[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, yesterday I was bitten by a scorpion." He said, "If you had said in the evening: 'A'udhu billahi minash shaytanir rajeem (I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan) and Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful), it would not have harmed you."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ عَقْرَبٍ لَدَغَتْنِي الْبَارِحَةَ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ»
ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي يَحْتَرِزُ الْمَرْءُ لِقَوْلِهِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ مِنْ لَسْعِ الْحَيَّاتِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, if you were to say before you sleep, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, it will not harm you, Allah willing."
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمَرْءَ إِنَّمَا يَحْتَرِزُ بِقَوْلِهِ مَا قُلْنَا مِنْ لَسْعِ الْحَيَّاتِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ إِذَا، قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever says in the evening 'A'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajeem, min hamzihi, wa min hamzihi, wa min sharril-ma khalaq, thalatha marraat, lam yadhurruhu haiyatan ila as-sabah' (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan, from his evil suggestion, from the evil of what He has created, three times, nothing will harm him until morning)." He also said, "Whenever a person from among his family members was bitten by a snake, he would ask, 'Did he say these words?'"
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُمْسِي أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ تَضُرَّهُ حَيَّةٌ إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ» قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا لُدِغَ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ قَالَ أَمَا قَالَ الْكَلِمَاتِ*؟!
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ النِّفَاقِ فِي دِينِهِ , وَالرِّيَاءِ فِي طَاعَتِهِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate saying: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, laziness, parsimony, decrepitude, hardness of heart, forgetfulness, humility, and dependence. And I seek refuge in You from poverty, disbelief, polytheism, hypocrisy, bad reputation, and ostentation. And I seek refuge in You from deafness, dumbness, insanity, leprosy, and evil diseases."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْقَسْوَةِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ وَالذِّلَّةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَالْكُفْرِ وَالشِّرْكِ وَالنِّفَاقِ وَالسُّمْعَةِ وَالرِّيَاءِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الصَّمَمِ وَالْبَكَمِ وَالْجُنُونِ وَالْبَرَصِ وَالْجُذَامِ وَسَيِّيءِ الْأَسْقَامِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ التَّعَوُّذُ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنْ فَسَادِ الدِّينِ وَالدُّنْيَا عَلَيْهِ بِسُوءِ عُمْرِهِ
"I went for Hajj with 'Umar, and in Muzdalifah, I heard him say that the Prophet [SAW] used to seek refuge from five things: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa a'udhu bika min su'il-'umuri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatis-sadri, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from miserliness and cowardice, and I seek refuge with You from reaching the age of second childhood, and I seek refuge in You from the ills of the heart, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5497)
حَجَجْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ حَجَّتَيْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا الَّتِي أُصِيبَ فِيهَا وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بِجَمْعٍ أَلَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ خَمْسٍ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي * أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»
ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَتَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الدَّيْنِ الَّذِي لَا وَفَاءَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ
"I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: 'A'udhu billahi minal-kufri wad-dain. (I seek refuge with Allah from Kufr and debt.)' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are you equating debt with Kufr?' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Yes.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5473)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالدَّيْنِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُعْدَلُ الدَّيْنُ بِالْكُفْرِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الشَّيْءَ قَدْ يَشْتَبِهُ بِالشَّيْءِ إِذَا أَشْبَهَهُ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَحْوَالِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُبَايِنًا لَهُ فِي الْحَقِيقَةِ
The Messenger of Allah [SAW] used to say: "A'udhu billahi minal-kufri wal-faqr. (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from Kufr and poverty.)" A man said: "Are they equal?" He said: "Yes." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5485)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَيَعْتَدِلَانِ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «نَعَمْ»

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone says in the morning or in the evening: "O Allah! Thou art my Lord; there is no god but Thee, Thou hast created me, and I am Thy servant and hold to Thy covenant and promise as much as I can; I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done: I acknowledge Thy favour to me, and I acknowledge my sin; pardon me, for none but Thee pardons sins, and dies during the daytime or during the night." he will go to Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5070)

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ غَيْرَ الْمُتَبَحِّرِ فِي صِنَاعَةِ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ الدُّعَاءَ يَدْفَعُ الْقَضَاءَ السَّابِقَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, if you were to say, when you enter the evening, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, [then] nothing would harm you.'"
النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ قُلْتَ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتَ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ مَا ضَرَّكَ»
