880. 'Āishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say the following supplication during the prayer: "Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr, wa a'ūdhu bika min fitnatil-masiḥid-dajjāl, wa a'ūdhu bika min fitnatil-maḥyā wal-mamāt. Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika min al-ma'thami wal-maḥram (O Allāh! I seek Your refuge in the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of Al-Masiḥid-Dajjāl, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death. O Allāh! I seek Your refuge from sins and debt)." Once, someone said to him: "How often you seek refuge from debt!" So he replied, "If a person is in debt, then he speaks and lies, and he makes promises and breaks them." (Ṣaḥīh)
