5452. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had supplications that he never neglected. He used to say: ‘Allāhumma innī a’ūduhu bika minal-ham, wal-ḥazani, wal-‘ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wad-daini, wa ghalabatar-rijāl’ (O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from worry,
grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, debt, and being overpowered by (other) men.)”
Imâm Abû Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ’î) said: This is correct, and the narration of Ibn Fuqail[1] is a mistake. (Sahîh)

Commentary
Debt signifies that debt which could not be repaid, but rather increases and becomes a source of humiliation and disgrace for the debtor. Otherwise, debt in its absolute sense was often taken by the Prophet ﷺ and there is often no escape from it.
