O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hellfire, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhabi jahannama, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabi-l-qabri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnati-d-dajjali, wa a'udhu bika min fitnati-l-mahya wa-l-mawat.
When to Read
This powerful supplication is particularly fitting to recite on Friday, a day blessed with unique spiritual opportunities. It's recommended to make it after the *tashahhud* in the final sitting of your prayers, just before you give the *tasleem* (salutation). This is a time when supplications are highly regarded, and the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us to seek refuge in Allah from specific evils during this sacred moment.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a heart that truly recognizes the gravity of the evils mentioned. Focus on each phrase, understanding that you are actively seeking Allah's protection. The Prophet ๏ทบ would often repeat these words four times in his prayers, emphasizing their importance. Ensure you are in a state of purity (*wudu*) as you pray.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a comprehensive shield against some of the greatest trials and punishments, both in this life and the Hereafter. Seeking refuge from the punishment of Hellfire and the grave is a direct plea for Allah's mercy. Protection from the *fitnah* (trial) of the Dajjal is crucial as he will be a major test for humanity. Furthermore, seeking refuge from the trials of life and death encompasses seeking protection from all calamities, temptations, and the sting of death itself. While not directly mentioning slander, the general plea for refuge from trials implicitly covers the harm caused by harmful speech and its consequences.

Narrated Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ said: 'When any one of you finishes his last (sitting) in prayer, he should seek refuge in Allah from four things, and say: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death. (Then the narrator mentioned something similar).'
