5497. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to seek refuge by saying these words: 'Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika minal-kasali, wal-harami, wal-jubni, wal-bukhli, wa suw'il-kibari, wa fitnatid-dajjāli wa 'adhābil-qabr (O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from laziness, old age, cowardice, miserliness, a bad old age, the tribulation of the Dajjāl and the torment of the grave.)'" (Saḥīḥ)
5495 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»
