The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from helplessness, laziness, cowardice and
feeble old age; I seek refuge with You from afflictions of life and death and seek refuge with You
from the punishment in the grave."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 39

Sa`d used to teach his sons the following words as a teacher teaches his students the skill of writing
and used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to seek Refuge with Allah from them (i.e. the evils) at the
end of every prayer. The words are:
'O Allah! I seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with You from being brought back
to a bad stage of old life and seek refuge with You from the afflictions of the world, and seek refuge
with You from the punishments in the grave.'
