"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to Abu Talhah: 'Find me one of your boys to serve me.' Abu Talhah brought me out, riding behind him, and I served the Prophet [SAW] every time he stopped (on his journey). And I often heard him say: 'Allahumma, inni a'udhu bika min al-harami, wal-huzni, wal-'ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa dala'id-dain, wa ghalabatir-rijal (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from old age, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, the burden of debt and being overpowered by men.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5503)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ «الْتَمِسْ لَنَا غُلَامًا مِنْ غِلْمَانِكُمْ يَخْدُمُنِي» فَخَرَجَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يُرْدِفُنِي وَرَاءَهُ وَكُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا نَزَلَ وَكُنْتُ أَسْمَعْهُ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ»
