اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ قَلْبِي بِمَاءِ الثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَبَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the passing away of Your blessings, and from the change of Your protection, and from the sudden punishment, and from all Your displeasure. And I seek refuge in You from the trial of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of wealth, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of poverty, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal. O Allah, cleanse my heart with the water of snow and hail, and purify my heart from sins, just as You purified the white garment from dirt, and keep me far from my sins as You have kept the East and the West far apart. O Allah, I ask You for guidance, and piety, and chastity, and richness.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawaali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'aafiyatika, wa fujaa'ati niqmatik, wa jamee'i sakhatik, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid dajjal. Allahumma ghsil qalbi bimath-thalaaji wal barad, wa naqqi qalbi minal khataaya kama naqqayta-th-thawbal abyada minad danas, wa baa'id baini wa baina khataayaaya kama baa'adta bainal mashriqi wal maghrib. Allahumma inni as'alukal huda wat tuqa wal 'afaafa wal ghina.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach his companions to seek refuge in Allah in their supplications, saying: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawaali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'aafiyatika, wa fujaa'ati niqmatik, wa jamee'i sakhatik. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min fitnatil qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil ghina, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil faqr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid dajjal.
