5450. It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to say: “Allāhumma innī a’ūduhu bika minal-‘ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhlī, wal-harami, ‘adhābil-qabr wa fitnatil-mahyā wal-mamāt (O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, and miserliness and old age, and the torment of the grave, and the trials of life and death.)” (Sahīh)
5448 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ، وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ»

Incapacity or ‘ajaza’ means man’s lack of strength or power or ability to do anything. He might not know how to do it, or he might not have the strength to do it, or he might be too helpless or overwhelmed that despite having power, he is not able to do it.
