46. Seeking Refuge
٤٦۔ كِتَابُ الِاسْتِعَاذَةِ
"The Prophet [SAW] used to seek refuge from these three: From being overtaken by destruction, from his enemies rejoicing in his misfortune, from being destined to an evil end, and from the difficult moment of a calamity." Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: "There were three, and I mentioned four because I do not remember which one was not one of them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5491)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ مِنْ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَجَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هُوَ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَذَكَرْتُ أَرْبَعَةً لِأَنِّي لَا أَحْفَظُ الْوَاحِدَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ
