اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, and the reversal of Your well-being, and the sudden punishment, and all that You are displeased with. And I seek refuge in You from the trials of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of the Fire, 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 Dajjal. O Allah, wash my heart with water, snow, and hail. And purify my heart from sins as You have purified the white garment from filth. And keep me far from my sins as far as You have kept east and west apart.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matika, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatika, wa faja'ati niqmatika, wa jami'i sakhatika, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatin-nar, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-dajjal. Allahumma ighsil qalbii bil-ma'i wath-thalji wal-baradi, wa naqqi qalbii minal-khataya kama naqqaytas-thawbal-abyada minad-danasi, wa baa'id baynii wa bayna khatayaya kama baa'adta baynal-mashriqi wal-maghribi.
