3839. It was narrated that Farwah bin Nawfal said: “I asked ‘Aishah about a supplication that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say. She said that he used to say: ‘Allāhumma inni a’udhu bika min sharri ma ‘amiltu, wa min sharri ma lam a’mal (O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from the evil of that which I have done and the evil of that which I have not done).” (Sahih)
3839 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ فَرْوَةَ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ: عَنْ دُعَاءٍ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ»

Second, abandoning the deeds that should be carried out, both mistakes cause losses in this life and Hereafter as well. In the above supplication, protection is sought from the bad affects of both kinds of the mistakes.
