46. Seeking Refuge
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الِاسْتِعَاذَةِ
"Humaid narrated: 'Anas - bin Malik - was asked about the torment of the grave and about the Dajjal. He said: "The Prophet of Allah [SAW] used to say: Allahumma, inni a'udhu bika minal-kasali, wal-harami, wal-jubni, wal-bukhli, wa fitnatid-dajjali, wa 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from laziness, old age, cowardice, stinginess, the tribulation of the Dajjal and the torment of the grave.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5457)
كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»
“My father heard me while I was saying: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sadness and laziness and the punishment of the grave (Allāhumma, innī aʿūdhu bika minal-hammi wal-kasali wa ʿadhābil-qabr).’ He said: ‘O my son, from who did you hear this?’” He said: “I said: ‘I heard you saying them.’ He said: ‘Stick to them, for indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying them.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3503)
سَمِعَنِي أَبِي وَأَنَا أَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ» قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُهُنَّ قَالَ الْزَمْهُنَّ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُهُنَّ
