Sad 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 Apostle 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.’
