Against Worry and Grief
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ
Transliteration
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-bukhli wal-jubn, wa dala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal.
Translation
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from the burden of debt and from being overpowered by men.
What this dua means
Eight things the Prophet ﷺ sought refuge from — a complete map of human weakness: anxiety about the future, grief over the past, and everything that paralyzes you in between.
When to read it
When anxiety, sadness, debt, or pressure weigh on you — morning and evening, or any time.
Virtue
The Prophet ﷺ himself regularly sought refuge with these words — if he needed them, so do we. (Bukhari 6369)
