وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بنِ أَرْقَم رضَي اللَّه عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : آَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّه صَلّى االلهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يقَولُ : «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ العَجْزِ وَالكَسَلِ ، والبُخْلِ وَالهَرم ، وعَذَاب الْقَبْر ، اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا ، وَزَآِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيرُ مَنْ زَآَّاهَا ، أَنْتَ ولِيُّهَا وَموْلاَهَا ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلمٍ لا يَنْفَعُ ، ومِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يخْشَعُ ، وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لا تَشبَعُ ، ومِنْ دَعْوةٍ لا يُسْتجابُ لهَا » رواهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-`ajzi wal-kasali, wal-bukhli wal-harami, wa `adhabil-qabri. Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha Anta khairu man zakkaha, Anta waliyyuha wa maulaha. Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min `ilmin la yanfau`, wa min qalbin la yakhsha`u, wa min nafsin la tashba`u, wa min da`watin la yustajabu laha.”
Zaid bin Arqam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would supplicate: [O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the inability (to do good), indolence, cowardice, miserliness, decrepitude and torment of the grave. O Allah! Grant me the sense of piety and purify my soul as You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and its Protecting Friend. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the knowledge which is not beneficial, and from a heart which does not fear (You), and from desire which is not satisfied, and from prayer which is not answered].'' (Muslim)
