اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the cessation of Your blessings, the reversal of Your well-being, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all of Your displeasure.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa fuji'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatek.

Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The prayer most frequently offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was: O Allah, O Controller of the hearts, make firm my heart on Your religion. I said: O Messenger of Allah, what makes your heart uneasy? He said: The world and its desires. And the most frequent supplication of the Prophet ﷺ was: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the cessation of Your blessings, the reversal of Your well-being, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all of Your displeasure.
