Sunan an-Nasai 5481 — Allahumma Inni A'udhu Bika from Five Harms

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5481

This Hadith gives the actual wording of a Prophetic dua for protection. The Prophet SAW used to say: Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-jubni, wal-bukhli, wa suw'il-'umuri, wa fitnatis-sadri wa 'adhabil-qabr. In simple words, he sought refuge with Allah from cowardice, miserliness, a bad old age described as second childhood, the trials of the heart, and the torment of the grave. The key lesson is that a Muslim can speak to Allah directly about deep fears and inner weaknesses. This dua is not only about danger outside us. It also mentions the heart, manners, old age, and what comes after death. For anyone searching for the Allahumma inni a'udhu bika dua, this narration gives a clear and easy wording to learn.
