1540. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would say: “Allāhumma! Innī a'ūdhu bika minal-'ajzi wal-kasali wal-jubni wal-bukhli wal-harmi, wa a'ūdhu bika min 'adhābil-qabri, wa a'ūdhu bika min fitnatil-mahyā wal-mamāt (O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from weakness, and laziness, and cowardice, and old age, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death).” (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1540 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ».

Commentary

The grave is part of a life that is between this world and the Hereafter. He who fails there fails utterly.
