Home Hadith Hadith 6130
Allah's Prophet used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from incapacity and laziness, from
cowardice and geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I
seek refuge with You from the afflictions of life and death."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 80, Hadith 64
← Previous Hadith
Two old ladies from among the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said' "The dead are punished in
their graves," but I thought they were telling a lie and did not believe them in the beginning. When
they went away and the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Two old ladies.." and
told him the whole story. He said, "They told the truth; the dead are really punished, to the extent that
all the animals hear (the sound resulting from) their punishment." Since then I always saw him
seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave in his prayers.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from laziness and geriatric old age, from
all kinds of sins and from being in debt; from the trial and affliction of the grave and from the punishment in the
grave; from the affliction of the Fire and from the punishment of the
Fire; and from the evil of the affliction of wealth; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away
my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins as a white garment is
cleansed from the filth, and let there be a long distance between me and my sins, as You made East
and West far from each other."
