Transliteration

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhab al-qabr, wa min 'adhab jahannam, wa min fitnat al-mahya wal-ma'mat, wa min sharri fitnat al-masih ad-dajjal.

Translation

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, from the punishment of Hellfire, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the trial of Al-Maseeh Ad-Dajjal.

Context

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this supplication to his companions, instructing them to recite it after the final Tashahhud and before the tasleem (ending salutation) of the prayer. It is a comprehensive plea for protection against major sources of torment and trial.

Benefit

Seeking refuge with Allah from these specific trials acknowledges His supreme power and our reliance on Him for protection against the unseen torments of the grave, the Hellfire, and the ultimate test of the Dajjal.

When to Recite

After the final Tashahhud, before the salam.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لاَ تَرْتَدُّ، أَنْ تُضِلَّنِي، أَنْتَ الْأَرْضُ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.

O Allah, I seek refuge in Your might, which never wanes, that You lead me astray. You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to any of Your creation, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen which You possess, that You make the Quran the springtime of my heart, the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness, and the reliever of my worries.
