Remembrance 13 from Chapter 337

Allāhumma innī a‘ūdhu bika mina-l-‘ajzi wa-l-kasal, wa-l-jubni wa-l-bukhl, wa-l-harami wa ‘adhābi-l-qabr. Allāhumma āti nafsī taqwāhā wa zakkihā. Anta Khayru man zakkāhā, Anta Waliyyuhā wa Mawlāhā. Allāhumma innī a‘ūdhu bika min ‘ilmin lā yanfa‘, wa min qalbin lā yakhsha‘, wa min nafsin lā tashba‘, wa min da‘watin lā yustajābu lahā.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim that Zayd ibn Arqam reported that the Messenger of Allah used to say: “O Allah, I seek Your protection from feebleness and laziness, from cowardice and avarice, from senility, and from punishment in the grave. O Allah, grant my soul its godliness and purify it, for You are the best of those who purify it. You are its Guardian and its Master. O Allah, I seek Your protection from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that is not utterly humble, from a self that is insatiable, and from supplications that are not accepted.” ^[18].
