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."

ابن حبّان:١٠١١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ بِحَرَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

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»

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ

ibnhibban:1004 – ʿImrān b. Mūsá b. Mujāshiʿ > ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > ʿAbīdah b. ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr > Muṣʿab b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ from his father

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)

ابن حبّان:١٠٠٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ مُجَاشِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ * عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

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»
