Volume 1, Book 12, Number 795:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying “Allahumma inni
a’udhu bika min adhabil-qabri, wa a’udhu bika min fitnatil-masihid-dajjal, wa a’udhu bika min fit –
natil-mahya wa fitnatil-mamati. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-ma thami wal-maghrami. (O
Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave and from the afflictions of Masi,h
Ad-Dajjal and from the afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the sins
and from being in debt).” Somebody said to him, “Why do you so frequently seek refuge with Allah
from being in debt?” The Prophet replied, “A person in debt tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks
promises whenever he makes (them).” ‘Aisha also narrated: I heard Allah’s Apostle in his prayer seek –
ing refuge with Allah from the afflictions of Ad-dajjal.
