ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ حِفْظَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِيَّاهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فِي أَحْوَالِهِ

[Machine] Omar ibn Al-Khattab experienced a tragedy, so he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and complained to him about it. He asked him to order for him a share of dates. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "If you wish, I can order for you a share of dates, or if you wish, I can teach you some words that will be better for you?" He said, "Teach me the words and get me the share of dates, for I am in need of it." So he said, "Say, 'O Allah, protect me in Islam while sitting, protect me in Islam while standing, protect me in Islam while lying down, and do not grant my enemy, who envies me, power over me. And I seek refuge in You from the evil that You hold control over us, and I ask You for all good that is in Your hands.'"  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ وَسَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ لَهُ بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ شِئْتَ أَمَرْتُ لَكَ بِوَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَلَّمْتُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ هِيَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ؟ » قَالَ عَلِّمْنِيهُنَّ وَمُرْ لِي بِوَسْقٍ فَإِنِّي ذُو حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ قَاعِدًا وَاحْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ قَائِمًا وَاحْفَظْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ رَاقِدًا وَلَا تُطِعْ فِيَّ عَدُوًّا حَاسِدًا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي هُوَ بِيَدِكَ كُلِّهِ»
