O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.

Allahumma 'afini fi badani, Allahumma 'afini fi sam'i, Allahumma 'afini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-kufri wal-faqri, Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min 'adhab il-qabri, la ilaha illa anta.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua is a comprehensive shield for the believer. By asking Allah for well-being in our bodies, hearing, and sight, we are seeking protection from physical ailments and the misuse of these faculties. Specifically, seeking refuge from disbelief and poverty guards us against spiritual decay and material hardship. Most importantly for our topic, this prayer implicitly includes protection from the evils that can stem from the tongue โ€“ like backbiting, slander, and idle talk โ€“ by seeking holistic well-being and refuge from all harm.

Source & Authentication

The narrator said: 'Ubaidullah bin Ma'mar told us on the authority of Abu al-Yasar, who said: 'The Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) used to supplicate: 'O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.' He used to say this three times in the morning and three times in the evening.
