أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَسْتَعِيذُ مِنْ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الأَعْدَاءِ وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَجَهْدِ الْبَلاَءِ ‏.‏

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5492

This Hadith gives the same core meaning without the narrator’s memory note found in another report. It says the Prophet SAW used to seek refuge from being destined to an evil end, from enemies rejoicing in his misfortune, from being overtaken by destruction, and from the difficult moment of a calamity. This is a strong dua for protection during serious hardship. It does not promise that a person will never face difficulty. Rather, it shows that a believer should ask Allah for refuge from painful forms of calamity and bad outcomes. The words cover what may happen to a person, how enemies may react, and the heavy moment when a calamity becomes hard. It is a short, focused supplication for safety.

What we learn from this hadith

  • Ask Allah for protection from an evil end.
  • The Prophet SAW sought refuge from enemies rejoicing at misfortune.
  • The dua names the difficult moment of calamity as something to seek refuge from.
