اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّنِي مِنْ خَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَا كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الأَثِيمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِينِي.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the reversal of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that displeases You. And I seek refuge in You from the trials of the grave, and the punishment of the grave. And I seek refuge in You from the trials of wealth, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of the False Messiah (Dajjal). O Allah, cleanse my heart with the water of snow and hail, and purify me from my sins as a white garment is purified from dirt. And keep me away from my sins as far as You have kept the East and the West apart. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of sins, and I seek refuge in You from everything that may harm me.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fugaa'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatik. Wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil qabr, wa 'adhabil qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil Masihid Dajjal. Allahummaghsil qalbii bim aa'ith thalji wal barad, wa naqqinii min khataayaaya kama naqqaita th-thawbal abyaḍa minad danas, wa baa'id bainii wa baina khataayaaya kama baa'adta bainal mashriqi wal maghrib. Wa a'udhu bika min sharril atheem, wa a'udhu bika min kulli shay'in yu'dhiini.
