ةعفان لا ةيعدلاا

Oh Allah, I seek Your protection from severe trials,
unfortunate disasters, undue feeling of frustration over
Your decrees and the ridicule of enemies. (Bukhari)
33. Safeguard Ones Faith, Life, Family & Wealth
Ma'qal Bin Yasar ؓ narrates: ‘Once I expressed my
fears to Rasoolullah ﷺ over five things in my life. I
feared that I would be misled or would deviate from
the ‘straight path’ (Siratul Mustaqeem). The second
was regarding my life, as I feared harm or illness
would befall me. The third was about my children,
that they would suffer religious (Deeni) or worldly
harm. My fourth concern was my wife, that she too
may suffer physical or spiritual harm. The fifth fear I
had was over my wealth, should there occur a loss of
income or property. After listening to my fears,
Rasoolullah ﷺ taught me the following prayer:
Recite 3 times [morning and evening]
لِا ْ
ِ مَ و َ ي
ْ ِلهَا ْ و َ يْ ِ دَلو َو َ ي
ْ ِ سْفَـن و َ نِِّ ْ ْيِ د ىّٰلع َ ِ للها ِم سِب ْ
bismillahi ala deeni wanafsi wawaladi wa ahli wa mali
May the blessings of Allah be on my faith, life, children,
family and wealth. (Ibne Asaakir, Kanzul-Ummaal)
